In movie the Buick and red CX arrived from Germany. |

It shall be a German export-plate, but it's a fake. The letters aren't German style, also the size is not correct. |

All true. Also I'm trying to think of a reason why anyone would buy a Buick Electra in Germany for export, which was the usual function of Zollkennzeichen; I've only ever seen them on German cars. I'm not saying it's impossible or even improbable, but it might open a discussion on the use of Zollkennzeichen. .gif ";)") |

If the season and episode numbers match up to the ones on the IMDB, this episode is from 1987, clearly making the Electra a secondhand car. I may be wrong, but I'm fairly sure that Zollkennzeichen are used for secondhand exports. |

Yes it's from 1987. In movie the car was rented (or something like that) in West Germany - it's not visible - and then arrived to Poland. Movie makers probably didn't even care about what plates it should has, they installed what they had just to give a foreign appearance to the car. |

You're quite right; way back when, when students, hippies (and plastic hippies) from the USA toured Europe in elderly type 2 VWs and the like, they invariably had Zollkennzeichen - which stayed on when they sold them in London or Amsterdam before going home. |
