Yeah, that was kind of the idea for the car - a experimental predecessor of the K-Series. The only predecessor we have officially is the Old Pessima, but that's more of a generational type predecessor than a model conversion predecessor (in other words, changing from one separate model to another separate model that shares similar characteristics).
I remind you that the Volga was bigger or the same size as the typical Euro executive (Opel Rekord, Ford Taunus, Citroen DS, etc.) of that time.

1937-1938 Ibishu Cargo Automobile - Nissan Van, Dodge Airflow It is a... late 1930s Japanese limited production semi-cabover vehicle. Mainly based off the Nissan Van, but with the front and wheels of the Dodge Airflow. Why do we need it? Because we don't have any pre-war vehicles, nor do we have any Japanese vehicles older than post-war (basically the Miramar).
