fuselage cars in unusual places

[fc7_plumcrazy]

these pics of a 1969 Sport Fury have been taken in 1971 in eastern germany. It was in a town called Rostock. A very unusual place for a C-Body in those days. The guys in the first pic are soldiers who just came home from duty.

Thanks to my buddy Dan for finding those pics

Looks like the headlamps were upgraded.

I love those pics! And they are so clean and clear! Were they touched up?

Great pics Carsten!

Looks like the headlamps were upgraded.

Probably just to match german standards?!

When I see pics like that, my next thought is, Where is that car today?

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

Hi,

I have no further info on the car or its whereabout today.
Pics were taken by a back then 15 year old east german boy who lived in that street.
Seeing a car from the "west" was very unusual in eastern germany.
It has east german custom office plates.
it has radial tires, non original hubcaps and headlights might have been swaped to H1 standart

Sure got everyone's attention didn't it? You think maybe they every bit as envious - perhaps even more so - than curious?

Those are factory hubcaps for Plymouth, these are listed in the Fury catalog. I have seen these on a Fury III the last few years at the Mopar Nats.

There is three big Mopar guys standing behind that Fury there Bob.... You should recognize them from Carlisle. Thank You for the photo, thats a nice one.

There 3 times the size of the commoners cars... I think they make quite a statement.

The big question is, how did East Germany allow this car in? and who acquired it?

That is what I was wondering...

And why is the antenna on the left fender.....

 

[polara66hardtop]

That is definitely a left wing commie antennae!

So, someone parks this boat on the side of the road in the middle of munchkin land and then hides in the bushes to snap photos of peoples reactions? Was this the German version of Candid Camera?
