What kind of car would a Red Army officer ride in? Can anyone provide me with a picture of such a car?

AFAIK, Russian officers often preferd Lend-Lease jeeps, like the Bantam, Willys MA and MB/Ford GPW.
At least one (Rotmistrov) temporarily used a White Scout Car.
Some drawings at http://www.o5m6.de (my site).
