EURO-SEDAN STYLING!

Update: Looking at the packaging it appears to be from 1996

In retrospection, it wasn't a bad looking car.

I think most French cars are neat, maybe that's just because they are exotic to us Americans, but their style and quirks are always interesting. My best friend in high school had a '86(?) 505 that his dad brought him home one day. We didn't even know what kind of car it was, just that it had a cool logo. My friend actually first thought it was a Yugo...

Didn't he suspect by the lack of rust and its fully functioning features that it couldn't be a communist car?

fully functioning features

Um, this is a French car we are talking about. But yeah, by the mid-90s pretty much all of the 150,000 Yugos (that had been sold as recently as 1991!?!) had disintegrated. They had become legends, folklore, cautionary tales we told our children before they went to bed to scare them straight.

Well according to my own experience French cars aren't unreliable. Not bulletproof either, but you can trust them.
