Not Russian

I'm going to eschew further geography-based Q&A for the time being. That way, I won't have to read a certain person's text "I was searching on another forum about cars from <location>, and stumbled across this one".  ;)

OK - it looks like that guy is not online right now, so I'll allow geographic guessing again, for now.

The lights could be American parts, but I don't know for sure.
