AMO ZiL, (Russian "Zavod imeni Likhachova"), or the Moscow Joint-Stock Business "Likhachov Plant", and more commonly named ZiL (Russian: Завод имени Лихачёва (ЗиЛ)-Likhachov Place, literally "Plant named for Likhachov") can be a major Russian automobile, truck, military vehicle, and heavy equipment manufacturer situated in the city of Moscow, Russia. Zil has a history of exporting trucks in order to Cuba, a business resumed within the early 21st century. [1]ZiL has also produced armored cars for most Soviet leaders, as well as chartering, armored fighting vehicles, and aerosani. The company also makes hand-built limousines and high-end high-class sedans (автомобиль представительского класса, also translated as "luxury vehicle") within extremely low quantities, primarily for the former Soviet and current Russian government officials. ZiL passenger cars cost the equivalent of versions by Maybach and Rolls-Royce, but are largely unknown beyond the Commonwealth of Independent Claims, and production now rarely exceeds several cars per year.
This factory was founded inside 1916 as Avtomobilnoe Moskovskoe Obshchestvo (AMO, Russian Автомобильное Московское Общество (АМО)-Moscow Car Society).

The body style was at the American tradition almost daily and resembled the mid-1950s cars built by Packard, an American luxury car or truck manufacturer, although, apart from the aesthetic similarity, the car was a classic design and had nothing in accordance with them, except in general design.

It featured a comprehensive ventilation and heating system and a 5-band airwaves, all of which could be controlled from the raise, electric windows, vacuum-operated screen wash, windshield and front door window defrosting.
