[REAL, 1969] The Sachsenring P 240 Repräsentant
The Sachsenring P 240 "Repräsentant" was based on the Horch P 240, a luxury car built in East Germany. Five cabriolets were built in celebration of "20 Years of GDR" in 1969 and used for military parades.
That grill looks like it's ready to sift the big rocks out of the sand.
Such a compelling mixture of style I love and... trunks? That grill is fantastic, but the rest of the car appears to be made from more recycled rumps than a cheep hotdog. And yet somehow I still love it.
Same here, the sloped grill makes it stand out IMO. The rest is kinda bland but it fits the style of the GDR perfectly.
I love the parallel evolution of style, I hoover up YouTube urban exploration videos that give me a little glimpse behind the iron curtain. I can imagine that grill making its way into so many different hot-rods, it's a shame there were only 10 ;-)
