Parade cars are parade limousines that make a public appearance once a year, during the Victory Parade on May 9. The tradition of commanding the parade from a car originated in the USSR. The first domestic parade limousine ZIS-110 was built in 1945 in the image and semblance of American Packcard. In the same years, a tradition appeared to paint the limousines with light gray nitrocellulose enamel to make a good match with the color of the marshal overcoat.
ZIL-117VE was a passenger convertible. Luxury cars ZIL-117VE were in production from 1973 to 1979. They were intended mainly for participation in military parades and performance of service for Party and state leaders.
The postage stamp provides image of ZIL-117VE.
