Ingo ◊ 2019-07-23 20:31	P.S. Exactly the location, where I nearly was killed by Junior Kim
GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2019-07-23 21:03	Looks exactly like a mid-'40s Packard! Did Stalin have a thing for them?

Gag Halfrunt ◊ 2019-07-23 21:31	That's scraped from Wikipedia. You might as well post the real thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZIS-110
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2019-07-23 21:41	It seems the texts are identical but I have no more faith in the Wiki than I did in the Revolvy.
