ZIL-111 was a car from "ZIL" introduced in 1959. The styling was inspired by the mid-1950s Packard, a United States automobile manufacturer. It was powered by a 6.0 L V8 engine producing Convert|200|hp|kW|-1|abbr=on connected to an automatic transmission giving a top speed of Auto km/h|170|0.

In the early 1960s the car was restyled (and re-named ZiL-111G) and it was available both as sedan and convertible. The front styling of this car very closely resembled the U.S. Cadillac from 1961-62, and out back it had dual-unit taillights resembling an early-Sixties Mercury. For then-U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's visit, E. Molchanov designed a special version. A minibus version called ZIL-118 was also and built in small numbers. [http://www.denisovets.narod.ru/zil/zilpages/zil118.html]
