StreetMag Show 2020 Hannover, Germany

[Marv]

So this has been and will be the only car show in 2020 I´ve been attending, this Covid19 bs got me really frustrated. Anyways I took some pictures, only one C-body attended the show, I´ll present it at the very beginning so everybody not interested in the rest can close the thread right after it. For everyone else who´s interested in random brands I hope you´ll enjoy some pictures during these frustrating car show times...

Some random cars

 

[Marv]

never been a Mustang fan, this one although is kinda funny .. They tried really hard to pick up some design elements of their
prime time models but failed .. Think it´s a late 70s early 80s car, I wonder how the salesman tried to present their new models
and get people excited about it like
<< Hey it´s small, looks boring doesn´t got torque and if you park it next to a 10 year old version of a Mustang you´ll realize how shitty it
really looks !! The new Mustang BUY IT NOW !! >>

 

[Marv]

very cool Jeep J10, that´s a rare one. And this Starliner was really nice inside out

 

[Marv]

I start to like these Mercurys, the really look massive. Thought it was a Chrysler from a distance

 

[Marv]

some hot-roads. The black car had an early Hemi engine in it. Great details like the turn signals and taillight that were
finished off perfectly. Great craftmanship

 

[Marv]

The Studebaker was a stunner also, but my guess is that´s just a trailer queen show and shine car

 

[Marv]

The way home we stopped at this Esso station.. Put the Tiger in your tank !!
I really enjoyed this 160mile trip. Soon it´ll be winter, this season is over without it ever
really started. Hope we get over this Covid19 thing by 2021.
So I hope you enjoyed this thread

Just the Ford version of the Capri. I ordered one new in '78 with the 2.8 V6. It was fun car to drive, once I got rid of the Firestone 724 that were on it.

Well yours looks way better, it got some fluent lines that make it look like a small sports car. The Mustang on my pictures was just a weird car.
I it´s not a Mustang and it´s not a different model, they tried to pick up old design elements but didn´t make the step forward and created something
new.. Just an odd car to look at

I wasn't a fan of the notchback, or whatever they called it then.

Actually based on the Pinto.

When I first saw the Mustang II in late '73, I remember being disgusted. I liked the '65-'73 Mustangs and I was not impressed with this imposter. It just looked like a stretched, slightly restyled Pinto and didn't even have a V8 for the '74 year. The Ford Capri at that time was a European design, but I believe Ford borrowed the Capri V6 for the Mustang II. Later, from '79 up, the Mustang was based on the Fox body platform like the Fairmont/Zephyr and Mercury got a Fox body Capri that looked an awful lot like the Fox Mustang.

I knew two people who had Mustang II's, both were hatchbacks. One was a '76 Cobra with a 302 4-speed and the other was a '77 Mustang with a 302 AT. This particular '77 got a rebuilt modified 302, which I helped the owner to rebuild, swapped into it. They were both fun cars to cruise around in. I remember how thin the sheet metal was though. If you so much as looked at it the wrong way it would dent.

the full size Chrysler is parked directly next to the Merc

... but I believe Ford borrowed the Capri V6 for the Mustang II...

That is correct. That was the 2.8 I had.

We arrived at 11am and drove home about half past 3 pm. Your weather app was quite on point. I think it just stopped raining before we arrived, stayed dry all the time until we left. We came into a shower on our way back but I guess some people stayed home because of the weather. Now it looks nice, at least here in Bremen.
You mean @Elcaine ew1 Fury? They must have appeared after 3 pm. The pictures show sunshine and we hadn´t any sun during our stay. When we left and drove northbound, we had blue sky in the beginning so I guess they arrived later that day

It usually is. Due to Covid19 they had to sell tickets and limit them to 1000. usually there´s about 15k visitors during the 2 days
and about 1.000 cars per day. Plus yesterday it rained a lot which made some people stay at home especially those driving old cars.
I just take pictures of historical vehicles, the new ones don´t catch my attention, I don´t get the sense of lining up 20 new generation
Mustangs next to each other. It looks like a car dealer parking lot, but okay to each its own...
