Cant remember the context for taking this back in lockdown!, but I didn't see any of these in the thread so far...
Yea baby! Those are so cool, they don't show up over here, I think cassette2go has one similar. I'm dying to know what the car is! I thought all the big bumpers were only over here, I'm guessing 70's, maybe a Capri?
Excellent guess, the Capri remained in production in Germany until 1986. This is one of the very last ones which I owned since 1990 but sadly, had to sell in 2022 as like Boxes, I seem to be ending up with too much stuff (and too many Capri's!)! That Crown CSC 656 has no real value, nor following, and is a very quirky box. As a youth in the early 80s, we always took one on the swim team tour bus and so it is held in high esteem for me.
If shipping wasn't silly money I'd glady help lighten the load. We only had a 70's version of the Capri over here, hatchback coupe but it didn't last long. With the internet we're able to see all the cool cars and variations you guys had, we mostly had big cars with big engines, sometimes they'd do something special but Corvette and Pontiac were so scared of losing market share to smaller faster cars from the other GM Brands, nothing affordable or peppy came out. Unfortuntately, the Japanese "Pocket Rockets" took over in the 80's and GM didn't have a small car response.
