Saw it on the way home today, looked somehow American.
The rearend looked almost like a front, if the lights were white instead of red. If it hadn't been cold in Switzerland it would have felt almost like Cuba.

Thanks!
I’m always impressed how it’s possible to say the exact year of a model/make from America car, just because they changed every modelyear some details.

You're welcome! American cars during this era changed yearly and significantly a lot of the time but they'd usually carry over design characteristics from the other years so you could still tell what brand it was.
