nzcarnerd ◊ 2017-04-20 09:59	1967 Pontiac - its nose is here - /vehicle_1026098.html - but can't tell whether it is a US Catalina or a Canadian Laurentian.
supcoach ◊ 2017-04-20 13:22	The show was filmed in North Korea, so most likely a Canadian import

GodzillaFan54 ◊ 2019-09-07 19:09	A Canadian car in North Korea!! What are the odds!
Ingo ◊ 2019-09-07 19:46	GodzillaFan54 wrote A Canadian car in North Korea!! What are the odds! Nowadays you see also several US cars there, all smuggled used imports
s13a ◊ 2019-09-07 19:55	kegare wrote It does look like it has a repeater on the fender which were mandatory for imported cars in Japan.
rjluna2 ◊ 2019-09-07 22:31	Perhaps bootleg from Japan?
Ingo ◊ 2019-09-08 23:23	rjluna2 wrote Perhaps bootleg from Japan? Not bootleg. When the weather was fine, there were connections between Northkorea and Japan. And there is a Northkorean community im Japan, which supports the relatives in the DPRK (my Japanese friend told me, that some Japanese prefects have Northkorean wifes) But the last good weather was a time ago - when I had been there, the newest JDM cars there were from the late 70ies.

Despite that the Mangyongbong92 is kept in good running shape all the time. When I had seen it in 2012, workers were busy to clean it and testing the engine. But the JDM cars and trucks, you see in Northkorea, are much older, all from the 70ies.

149PCE ◊ 2022-01-10 14:43	The thumbnails from episode 4 show that this Parisienne is right hand drive. It is therefore likely from Australia, where these were also built. I also remember a scene where the car accelerated before the door shut and the “driver” even finished sitting down!!

I also remember a scene where the car accelerated before the door shut and the “driver” even finished sitting down!! Yes, either directly from Australia, or more likely, via Japan which is also RHD. Regarding US cars in North Korea, the most bizarre realization came to me in 1994 when Kim Il-Sung died (old man Kim)....there were several 1970s Lincoln Continental limousines in the funeral cortege. Despite all the intense anti-American rhetoric, the products of Detroit were just too sexy for North Korean leadership to include in its hatred of the US. Kim Jong Il (aka "Kim Junior") also had his Dad's cars and were used in his own funeral ceremony / extravaganza. That started to underscore my belief of "Do what I say, not as I do." of despots...money talks, and if Kim or Castro wanted a brand new American car (or a dozen), he get them by whatever channels. Maybe Grandpa Kim Sr bought several Lincolns with some to be cannibalized for parts, probably not too unlike what he did to his people. The nearest US Ford dealership would have been Seoul.
