Some classic car owners have unusual tastes. |

Is my impression correct, that the film-makers have arranged, that steam of cooling water shall come out of the front hood? There are some really stupid and un-funny West-German movies from the lates 60ies and early 70ies (at the time, when the German movie-industry was lying at the ground). One time I've tried to watch them, just because to recognize cars. In the first film I've watched, theev was a scene, where a VW 411 got a breakdown. The main character has openend the front(!) hood and has said "Oh, the cooling water (!!) is cooking". After that I immediately had switched off my TV - and never have switched it on for such a rubbish again. |

I think you're right. And the way the man is standing suggests that he's trying to open the bonnet but has to shield himself from the hot steam. They might have chosen to use a rear-engined car so that they could put a steam-generating gadget inside without having to squeeze it into the real engine bay. |

He's not trying to open the bonnett, he is almost hit by the car because the driver hasn't seen him because of the steam. |

It looks like this, but here is this car: http://www.sovavto.net/ (ZAZ\ZAZ-968\bottom of the page), and it is 966 or author of this site made a mistake. If not, it seems that for some time there were marketed both with the same look(?). -- Last edit: 2008-12-10 17:54:49 |

In the seventies They were imported im Italy and were the cheapest car on the market: larger than the second cheapest car, the Fiat 126, the Zaz suffered by terrible corrosion. In the mid eighties all of them had disappeared. A friend of mine's father had one in such light yellow (called banana yellow) and changed it after a year for a second-hand Fiat 128 Special. |
