Soviet Staff Car - high level

A very flash car - with more than a hint of capitalist decadence.  Only for the use of the STAVKA Special Representative!  Another dodgy die-cast, this time from Hot Wheels with a driver (actually a tank crewman but he fits in the car and that's what matters...) of unknown make added. I think the car may be a Packard but I'm open to that being corrected.  It was originally finished in a very fetching (but clearly counter-revolutionary) metallic blue before I set to with the black spray paint.

    What can I say, other than the higher up you go the bigger the People's car gets

    What system is this again? How big is this guy's dacha?

    Dacha? Do you mean his weekend home or is 'Dacha' some filthy euphemism? One step nearer the Gulag for you, comrade.

    That is cool, I've got a Hot Wheels one too but it doesn't look as good as that

    I have quite a few Hot Wheels cars - they are very useful.
