That's the right car.
But I have a name for it, which I assume is a translation of its Russian name?
Locked for you to see if you can find it.
Unlocked!
ZIMA (ЗИМА) decrypted as "Завод Ижевских Малолитражных Автомобилей" (means "Plant of midget cars in Izhevsk").
Such prose!

OK, it could be that Google translate has made initials into a word...
I had it as the: ИЖ проект "ЗИМА-1" '1965
So that only translates into the name you gave me?! Can it make a word (the one I have)?

This is right.
Maybe Google-Translate mistook abbreviation "ЗИМА" as russian word "зима" (means "winter").

That's right! Google called it the "Winter-1" but I wondered if they were talking about the weather or if it was just initials!
Now I have the answer and you have a point!
Merged!
