Not 1972, it's a 1967 "Kiemencoupé", see the back sidewindow. |

I thought 1972 by the grille... if this really is the same car: /vehicle_375413-Volvo-144-1973.html |

It seems, that it's the same car - so it's a 1967 Coupé with a 1972-grille. |

It was very common to respray those grills to make them look newer (also BMW 1500, 1600 grills was very often resprayed) at least in Norway it was so during late 70s and 80s. |

Not as bad as the mannerism in the 60ies, no make VW's "looking newer" by cutting out the Brezel- or Ovali-window No kidding, there were aftersales market-conversion kits available back then... |

BTW I think this is the prettiest of the 4 (I know of) different types of coupes that they made on Kadett B (not counting GT, sedan and caravans). All 4 types had totaly different C-pillar. |
