Yes, it is the 1956 ZIL (or ZIS) 111 prototype. It is usually referred to by an additional name. Locked for you to find that one.

Rostkov's draft ZIL 111 Moskva (Mockba) prototype, only two made in 1956. No other references found..

Moskva is the name I was looking for.

Well done, another point for you.

Looks as if they traded the 1956 Buick styling on this prototype to 1956 Packard for the "production" ZIL 111.  :)
