| source: L.M.Shugurov "Automobiles of USSR and Russia", volume 2., MOscow, 1994. Unfortunately I don>t have time to translate it all right now, here are some facts: - first shown to public in 1956 in Moscow on VDNH show. - it was also called "Moskva" and first had the same chassis as ZIS-110 and new body. - Chief Designer - A.N.Ostrovtsov, he created totally new chassis as well. - very similar to Packard Carribean - all major solutions were identical to GAZ-13 Chayka - 10-12 cars a year were made (some 150 Chaykas were made every year). - first serial model was made in 1958 modifications: - ZIL-111A with air conditioning and smaller rear window. - ZIL-111V cabrio limousine (on April 14 1961 Yuri Gagarin was brought on one of these to Kremlin) - since 1962 replaced by ZIL-111G - slightly different body design. - ultimately replaced in production by ZIL-114 in 1967 Please let me know if you have more questions.
