 There have been rumors that machinery was transferred to the Soviet Union, and production continued until 1959 as the ZIS-110.James Ward found no supporting evidence in the Packard archives of such a transfer.Also, the ZIS-110 shares no sheet metal with any Packard, despite the fact that its external decor elements were intentionally designed to heavily resemble pre-war Packards, favoured by Stalin after he had received a Packard Twelve as a gift from Franklin D. Roosevelt.
