Other military plates for US Forces were 'QQ' and 'IF'. From 2005 on they use the normal plates of the Landkreis where they are located in due to safety reasons, except from the 'IF' plates for US military police vehicles.

Pretty sure the Special wasn't offered in this color, which makes this a 1997 Trendline in 'canyonred'. For 1997 the Trendline/neé GT lost the black plastic arches and mirrors and sidetrim became body-colored. 96: Link to "i.pinimg.com" 97: http://pics.imcdb.org/16833/s-l1600.4.jpg
