wickey ◊ 2006-03-06 00:16	possible, but the tail-lights in this shape are more common on 105s.. Definitely hard to say from this angle.

Chrome form of this outlets indicates only 120 LS/GLS. Original chrome wheelcovers disappeared here. But wheels looks 14". It's another sign of car made before autumn 1979. Side strips looks afermarket. Colour "brilantni oranz" was applied since August 1977 to July 1983. It's twin - 1977 120 LS - in original condition is visible here: http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2198/2224269434_c23a0c4ab6.jpg?v=0 By the way, vertical tail lights were same in whole 1976-1981 model line. In 1981 new, square-horizontal tail lights went to the best equipped sedans 105 GL, 120 GLS and bit later to coupe Garde/Rapid. After September 1983 facelifting they went to all Skodas.
