Found these two unusual Russian diecasts from a Ukrainian vendor on Ebay. Made by Premium Collectibles Trading and listed as AutoLegends. Each come in a bubble pack. No further info on them except the black one is a 1962 ZIL-111G and the gold one a 1988 ZIL-4102. Huge cars with massive length and width. Likely only very high rated Soviet official rated a ride in these. Acquired them feeling good to give the Ukrainian vendor a bit of US foreign exchange in these difficult times. Amazingly, the Ukrainian post office was working as well as any in a foreign country and they arrived in a timely fashion with reasonable shipping costs.

They look very good and it is great support for Ukraine. I have a 1/43 replica of the very Buick-looking 1936 Zis, driven by Russian/Soviet bigwigs.

Probably this one but I always though it looked more like a big Nash from the era.

That's true. It seems to have a definite American automobile influence, and learning/copying from the best is a way to have some success !

These are partworks made for DeAgostini and sold in Russia and perhaps then Ukraine! See https://www.hobbydb.com/marketplaces/hobbydb/subjects/avtolegendy-sssr-auto-legends-ussr-series
