2104. A little W. Germanish trim, might be "Nova Kombi". |

What's specific West German there? As filmed in the former DDR, rather unlikely. I'd say a DDR-spec (DDR-spec = most basic) version, and the parts for pimping it were purchased by the Western relatives of the owner via https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genex ...and not brought by theirselves as gifts at visits. The import of car-related parts and stuff was strictly forbidden in the DDR ![]() Strangely not forbidden the other way around: once I've met a Volvo 244-owner from West-Berlin, who got parts for his car mostly in East-Berlin. |

But by what I see, it is one of these West German-Didi movies ![]() W. German Nova had same/very similar side strips. |

It's a comedy with Dieter Hallervorden, but with a political/historical background, not of the slapstick-Didi-series. A prop is unlikely for a background car. It's clearly filmed in the former DDR (Dieter Hallervorden was and still is a hardcore West-Berlin-guy, whose refusal of any DDR-related topics is comparable with my opinion ![]() The location is pure ex-DDR: a tent, used as a percursor of the large shopping centers, built outside the towns "on the green meadow", as we say in German. The whole ex-DDR is cluttered with them. -- Last edit: 2016-06-18 20:00:55 |

OK will not argue about, yes on diferent pic are visible commie blocks, BUT even in real DDR location the cars can be props to makes it even more DDR (especially for the western viewer). |

Not here. The movie is set in that times and this scenery is so extreme and uncomparable "DDR-after-the-fall-of-The-Wall", and not "late-DDR-agony", that a prop wouldn't make sence. |
