The year was 1982 and it was driven by a woman on an important suburban way. I was very impressed as I would be surprised if it was regularly imported in Sweden. Could anyone of you tell me more ?

I mean the one for the US and Canada with round headlights and tipically exagerated bumpers to fit the US specifications.

Sweden was (until a few days ago) not in the NATO, but, since many Sweds had much previously emigrated in the US, it is possible someone could have gone taking the LeCar she had bought there.
