Nope.

OK, a big hint: Its significance has to do with where it was made.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #11 on:** March 31, 2010, 08:30:43 AM »

Yakovlev & Frese, the first automobile built in Russia. It was introduced in 1896.
Others say it is just a modified Benz.

I have it spelled "Yakovlev-Freze," but that's the one!

The replica of this car is reported to be in Autoreview magazine museum in Moscow, but during my visit it was not there.
