Last Saturday, there was a local open-shop campaign in my village, where the local classic car club placed some vehicles for decoration.

In Germany actually there is also election campaign, so the political parties have stands, too.

There was the funny scenery, that a 1968 Mustang Fastback, an AC Cobra 827 and an Opel Diplomat B were standing around the "Grüne", the Green Party - whose most orthodox freaks want to forbid classic cars (and Diesel cars, motorbikes, motorboats and more)

isn't it ironic ..

^ Even global superstars should clear snow off the car windows - it's easy enough to do, even if you don't know which switch does the wipers.

honestly its not that bad compared to some moving snow banks i get to see every winter ...

Some cars I saw in July:

Not sure why?

looks like Barbie got a deal with Toyota ...

i'm absolutely, madly in loooove with that blue Cobra aside of the Corvair ..

nice Testarossa .. the only time i saw one apart of a car show was on my street, a long long time ago , followed by a Lamborghini Countach ( i guess they were either going to a show or coming back from it )

never ever saw them after that day

not enough doors for a A8, you might want to fix it before walter sees this..

PS : that Lincoln just made me think of the video clip i posted above in the comments...

I keep doing that, ugh.

It's one of the nicest Cobras that I've seen:

This was another one that wasn't in the show, but the owner stopped by, he was admiring the 1960 Cadillac when I talked to him:

that Cobra is so beautiful...
they're used to sell one at Passion Die-Cast ( a car/plane die-cast store ) but quite expensive and already out of stock ...

@Baube - since you mentioned AMC, here's one I saw today:

nice... i'm not on Instagram ( and don't plan at all to ever be one day ) so consider having an " unofficial" like ..

Was the Cord the real deal or a replica ? there was one featured in American Pickers yesterday

I found this on the Cord:

nice, thanks

i wonder what they say by Chrysler 300 rear part .. or maybe we're happier by not knowing... ( i tried to see by searching Cord Mecum but no success except for the other ones they already sold, electric Cord gives... well ... a lot of unrelated results .... )

Try "Cord orange"

I'm wondering if someone has a good taste on this colour

^ Makes it easy to find in a big crowded car park??

Not that i see them often but each time i see a E36 M3 , especially when its a yellow one , i can't stop thinking : What if... is this one one of them ? ..

The same day I spotted the pink Avalon, I came across some other cars from the 90's:

Mazda Millenia:

1991 Caprice Classic:

1990-91 Buick LeSabre:

Some of these used to be everywhere, but have become harder to find.

I took lots of picture and forgot to post them here, anyway, here they are:

One of my favourites

Renault Avantime

Audi V8, RHD


early MB 300GD W460


Barkas B1000 KM


Ford Granada Turnier


IFA P3


Mercedes-Benz MB100 camper


abandoned Fiat Siena


1990s Toyota Celica


Mercedes-Benz R129, even with old DIN-plates. I saw exactly this car some weeks later in my new place of residence.


MB Sprinter W906 with interesting build-up in an interesting colour


Wartburg wagon


Mercedes-AMG X290

Siena is extremely rare as it's the sedan which was never offered in Germany - we only got the Weekend.
