From 1956, ZIL was looking for a successor to the outdated ZIS-110 . First of all, the prototype Moskva was created , which combined the chassis of the ZIS-110 with a new body. After the first tests were not very promising, the prototype was revised again. The first production vehicle left production either in November 1958 or not until early 1959.

Like the previous sedans, the ZIL-111 was based on American car design, especially the 1955 Packard Patrician . The limousine was used exclusively for the Soviet leadership . It is powered by a V8 petrol engine that develops 147 kW. A two-stage hydromechanical automatic transmission is used, with which the car reaches a top speed of 170 km / h. The rear axle is suspended with semi-elliptical leaf springs , the front axle with coil springs . The vehicles have power steering and drum brakes . A model with air conditioning was manufactured from 1959 to 1962 under the name ZIL-111A . At the same time, ZIL also built a convertible version with the designation ZIL-111W in a few copies . On average, only 10 to 12 ZIL-111 vehicles were built per year.

From December 1962 or the beginning of 1963, an externally heavily modified variant ZIL-111G was produced, which in turn corresponded to the current trends in American automobile fashion. From 1964 there was also a version of the ZIL-111G as a convertible, the ZIL-111D . Eduard Moltschanow developed a special version for the visit of the American President Dwight D. Eisenhower . The successor to all models was the ZIL-114 .

According to one source, the ZIL-111 was the model and basis for the Chinese Hongqi CA72 representative limousine .
