This documentary, filmed in 1980, shows mainly small and micro cars that were popular in Germany in the 1950s. The host, a well known Showmaster, is playing the role of an car mechanic in his garage and leads through the film with small anecdotes. |

I will not add all the normal cars that were on the roads in 1980 and can be seen as background cars throughout the documentary (... unless you beg me ). But I will post images here for your interest: A nice size comparison between a BMW 5-series and a Kleinschnittger. A even then in Germany fairly rare Wolseley 18/85 (1967-71) being passed by a Fuldamobil. For Mattijs eyes only ... An elderly Ford 17M (1969) is following a Maico. In this perspective the Maico looks big.... A Kroboth flying by an Opel Manta [B]. Here we see the three-door version, which never had a following like the two-door sibling. An Opel Kadett [B] ... Rallye version! A Ford 'Dog-Bone' Escort. A Volkswagen Golf from the Post Office. They got the first batch of Diesel engined Golfs ... with only one seat installed! Ford Taunus, Opel Ascona, Ford Granada Turnier, Volkswagen 1300 & 1302 S, and a number of others. A pair of very widely used small and mid-sized Mercedes-Benz trucks. A fairly rare Opel Rekord D Coupé ... and a smaller coupé for Richard in the background. And finaly proof that even a Fiat Panda is big! |
