Lovely pictures. Especially that 2nd one with the 906s.

Yeah, I knew you’d like that one. They are really cool. Someone’s snapshots. All the advertising signage is amazing.

It’s amazing, the only logo that hasn’t been changed is the one from Uniroyal.

And Coca-Cola. A lot of those companies no longer exist, too, I think. What’s Textar? That name could still work. And, Englebert is just Uniroyal now. Is Varta still around?

Varta is still around, both 12v batteries as the smaller AAA-kinds. I have ‘m in house! Varta probably is no longer Quandt (BMW!!!!) owned but still...

Textar were brake-pads IIRC. Probably still around as well. I’m sure the logo has changed over the years though.

Interesting. And, you can still get a Sinalco, so actually a lot of those companies are still around. I guess motoring products stick around if they work. I think you can even still get Pentosin Super Fluid.

Guess what I ran into in Lothar’s shop when I picked up the Porker this morning (ventilation motor broke down):

Ah, funny. I wonder if we get those here.

Man, it’s one thing after another with that hunk of junk. The Le Car is more reliable.

Well, it gave me time to work on those headlights in the meantime. YELLOW LENSES FTW!!!!

All right! Finally. Those look great. That’s a pretty Targa back there, too.

That’s been overhauled entirely. The owner bought/drove it when he lived in the US and took it home with ‘m.

That’s pretty cool. It’s been around. What year is it?

No idea, I think early ‘70's. It’s definitely a ‘69+ as that rear window is glass.
