DynaMike ◊ 2007-08-09 08:59	Yes indeed. With these quarterlights it will be a 1952+ model.
Yvon52 ◊ 2007-08-09 09:50	'Adenauer' est un surnom. pourquoi l'indique-t-on dans le titre?
antp ◊ 2007-08-09 14:25	Comme 'Traction', 'Beetle', et quelques autres je suppose

But a real GDR-car woud be impossible for a lot of reasons: A guy looking like that in the GDR would never drive a Mercedes 300. Noone in the GDR was ever able drive a 300er. No GDR-citizen was ever able to make a camping-tour (with a French made "Sterckeman-trailer anyways) to Western Europe.
