Thanks, Rich.
Well, here where I live summer is over and we are well into the rainy season, so I have no excuse.
What we have next is what appears to be a well camouflaged small pickup truck:

Hi Max,

this small pickup truck has the chassis of a mittlerer Einheits-PKW.

Best regards

Bert

Hi Bert,
Is it, perhaps, a Chevrolet CC60L, or even a 1543X2?
Cheers,
Kerry.

Hello Bert,

What can I say? A quiet Sunday morning.

Here is my photo, perhaps not too difficult, the one behind is also interesting, but it is the car I am looking for.

Kerry.

Hi Kerry,
It's a ZIS-101, probably ca. 1940

Hello Max,
That is close enough, it is, I believe, the improved ZIS101a. Clearly not the extremely rare 101, or 101a, Sport, but the limousine version. Here is a standard 101, a different front end.
Over to you Max, and thank you,
Kerry.

Aaaaaarrrghhhh. Never thought to look at ZIS. I was convinced it was American as I could see Cadillac/GM written all over it.

Good job Max.

Hi Kerry,
You're of course correct this is the 101a. I didn't realize the "old style"101 was sill in production when this model was introduced. That was a good question and a pretty rare pic of this car "in the wild" I should think.

Well here's the next question for you all:

Thanks Rich,
I also went straight to GM but the wheels just didn't look right. I guess it's understandable since back in the day Soviet automobile stylists had a habit of, shall we say, "paying homage" to their colleagues in Detroit. :wink:
Cheers,
Max
