The styling was inspired by the mid-1950s Packard,〔Lev Shugurov: ''Avtomobili Rossii i SSSR'', 1993, ISBN 5-87483-006-5 , p.48.〕 a United States luxury automobile manufacturer. It was powered by a 6.0 L V8 engine producing connected to an automatic transmission (a copy of Chrysler's PowerFlite)〔''ZiL-111'', Avtolegendy SSSR, nr. 49, DeAgostini, 2010, ISSN 2071-095X 〕 giving a top speed of . Apart from a basic version ZiL-111, there was produced ZiL-111A with air conditioning (it had a smaller and flatter rear window due to air tubes) and convertible ZiL-111V (ЗиЛ-111В in Russian, only 12 made).〔 The convertible based on the ZiL-111 was dubbed ZiL-111V.〔Thompson, Andy. ''Cars of the Soviet Union'' (Haynes Publishing, Somerset, UK, 2008), p.214.〕 In December 1962 the car was restyled and it was available both as sedan ZiL-111G and convertible ZiL-111D.〔''ZiL-111G/111D'', Avtolegendy SSSR, nr. 29, DeAgostini, 2010, ISSN 2071-095X 〕 Fitted with a V8,〔Thompson, p.214.〕 The front styling of this car very closely resembled the 1961-62 Cadillac Fleetwood 75,〔Thompson, p.241.〕 and out back it had dual-unit taillights resembling an early-Sixties Mercury. For U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's visit, E. Molchanov designed a special version. Air conditioning was standard.〔Thompson, p.214.〕 The ZiL-111G went out of production in 1966.〔Thompson, p.214.〕 The first ZiL-111D was built in 1963, six months after the new ZiL-111 appeared; only about eight were built, half with grey exteriors, and all were fitted with microphones.〔Thompson, p.215.〕 Castro was given a ZiL-111D.〔Thompson, p.215.〕 As a rule, the ZiL-111 was available only for members of the Politburo.〔 ''ZiL-118 Yunost'', DeAgostini ''Avtolegendy SSSR'' series Nr.28〕 In 1958-1967 only 112 of all models were made, in this only 26 ZiL-111G.〔 A minibus based on the ZIL-111, the ZIL-118 ''Yunost'' (Youth), was also developed, but built only in small numbers.〔Thompson, p.213.〕 The ZiL-111 would be replaced in 1967 by the ZIL-114.〔Thompson, p.215.〕 ==Variants== *ZIL-111: Original production version. * *ZIL-111A: ZIL-111 with air conditioning. * *ZIL-111V: Convertible version. *ZIL-111G: Modernized ZIL-111. * *ZIL-111D: Convertible version. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ZIL-111」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
