Well, the body was not directly from a Cadillac factory, but it was heavily inspired by American cars.

Ahem..I have eventually found an informaion which I didn't know before. Some article read that the body design for ZIS 101 and a first party of bodies were performed by Ambi Budd from Philadelphia (not the German Ambi-Budd). Don't know how true this information is, but sounds interesting :)
