It's a roughly 1979 Paektusan from the DPRK. Probably based on a Volga.  I'm not sure anyone outside North Korea knows more than that.

Some beautiful renditions of possibly the most obscure car of the 1970s. Drawings by Jörg Peter Rabe, 2021.

The car appeared in the March 1978 issue of 'The Korean Pictorial' (Chinese)
