A bit humiliating. As Rodney Dangerfield would have said, "no respect!" |

Not disrespectful at all - actually more of a monument for a very popular part of German TV history. Pretty much every kid of my generation that grew up in the 1980s knows this car, as it was the Formel Eins trademark car. Watching Formel Eins was an absolute must if you were interested in contemporary music in any possible way - it was the one and only source to watch the latest music videos in pre-MTV-times, when hardly anyone was able to receive commercial TV and we weren't even dreaming of Youtube and stuff like that. The show's impact on everyone's youth and musical experiences was massive. If you watched Michael Jackson's Thriller on German TV in 1984, you watched it on that show, because there was no plan B. The pink Studebaker is a German pop culture icon and was about as famous as the Batmobile, the Bluesmobile or the Ecto-1 in the US. It was originally a barn find in poor shape before it was seen on Formel Eins almost weekly between 1983 and 1990 and I like that they put it on display long after Formel Eins ended. Apparently it still belongs to Bavaria Film of Munich. .gif ":)") |

Sorry. Didn't know that history. I guess then it really has a place of honor! :-) |
