Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
The intent of the thread is to post pics of obscure cars you've owned or been associated with for others to try to identify. Try to resist the urge to look for/enlarge badging - it's not a contest, just for fun.
The one I've chosen (pic below, same color even) was owned by the older brother of a friend when I was a teen (about 15 yo) before we had drivers licenses. One Sat afternoon my friend "borrowed" the car without permission so we could drive to a distant golf course. On the way, the car gradually began to slow until it stopped. For some reason we deduced it overheated and needed water, didn't know better and took the radiator cap off to fill it. Went to a nearby farmhouse (in Germany) and borrowed some water to refill it - promptly cracked the block.
I never saw my friend again outside school, I think he was grounded for life, his Dad was the High School Principal. Though ironically, he became a successful golf club pro.
Truth is stranger than fiction...
