Well if you have, you're lucky. EnglishRussia has a nice 7 page long photo-article about this subject, more specifically about the Russian made executive cars.

That's the first car the factory produced. If this caught your attention, go see more at:

The first one has kind of a La Salle meets Terraplane meets Packard look, unlike the direct Packard ripoff one.

always been intrigued by this. I knew those were all hand built, but that is some old school technique being utilized there

I actually went to a Summer semester in the Soviet Union shortly before it collapsed as part of my degree program at the University of Michigan. What a tremendous experience. I remember seeing ZILs, Chaikas, Volgas, and more Ladas than you can possibly imagine. Oh and the Trabants from East Germany — the very reason we couldn't run on a daily basis for exercise because breathing was horrendous.
