This one seems to have a huge back seat area. Thanks John.

Somewhat tasteful considering it's a Russian design.

I love this one; I've never seen this 1/43 before.     Gotta love the Cadillac influence!    Very nice John.  😎

@chris a 1948 Buick Super was an “inspiration”

@hobbydragon 

I read that when I did a little research, I don't quite see it. It seems that the Buick may have been some influence, but the Cadillac seems to be more prominent, especially in the shape of the front fenders and the grill.

Either way, it is a derivative design that still manages to remain distinctive. I'd love to see the interior.
