C.107 posted some curbside shots at the Cohort that are almost certainly from Munich Berlin. Now this is a rather exotic and eclectic grouping: Lancia Beta HPE, 1966 Cadillac and a Dino GT. A little to much so for it to be random. Must be someone’s little collection.
From this angle, it looks just like Innsbruck, where the trains roll into the station. Probably like lots of European cities, for that matter. This Dino GT coupe is just like the one I did a CC on a while back. A very tasty coupe; loved these when they first came out, and never stopped. It’s just always looked good in every time period; a classic.
Here’s an Alfa 75/Milano Alfetta, looking well cared-after.
Unlike this neglected-looking DS.
A broken-out window, always a bad sign. Like an abandoned house with a failing roof; you know it’s not long for the world.
And a very late-model Fiat 124 Spider.
Finally, a Day-Glo orange 2CV, to brighten up a rather dreary German day. Great shot.
The pictures are from Berlin. Apart from the license plate “B” giving it away, there is a glimpse of a Berlin S-Bahn with its distinct color scheme in the second picture.
That Alfa 75 looks gorgeous.
Gorgeous cars, all. Was that Alfa called the 75 or Milano? I thought this model was the Alfetta, and the later, boxier one was the 75.
Yes, that is an Alfetta and it was the 75 that came to the USA
Yes; it was early this morning, and I wasn’t quite a wake yet. My bad.
I’d love to have that 2CV, orange paint and all!
The Alfa is not a 75 (called Milano in the USA), it’s an Alfetta.
yes, shot those in Berlin, near Bellevue (not the 2CV, though). They were all parked within 100 mtrs, and indeed so randomly eclectic I just had to take pictures. The DS was off the road since 1991, as the MOT on the plate indicates, and defintily crusher-bound.
Of all these lovely cars, I mostly enjoyed the Alfetta. Haven’t seen one for ages, let alone such a clean one…
I’d love to cruise a European city in a 1960s Cadillac just to see what kinda looks you’d get.
Eine orange Ente!
The little guy looks like new.
How could anyone let a Goddess rot like that? For shame.
I posted one in worse condition a while ago, it appears to be outside a Citroen workshop, and most likely spent a lot of time out in the weather somewhere before they got it for parts
In this place, below the S-Bahn arches, there are some repair shops doing paintwork and restoration. I used to take that S-Bahn every day a few years ago and, yes, there were always interesting cars there… I don´t remember having seen the goddess then (2010).
Seems I’m not the only reader from Berlin. And that’s even my borough! The DS is effectively a parts car. Standing there for years, all rusted through.
Love the DS with the graffiti behind it; looks like a still from a dystopian sci-fi.
That ’66 Caddy it’s simply gorgeous ! One of my favorite years for Cadillac
