i'm not 100% sure, but i think it is one of the special Honecker GDR Volvo build by Bertone -- Last edit: 2007-09-29 16:24:44 |

@Ralph: surely. These version of Bertone-Volvo's was popular for the GDR-leaders. These cars are still existing and sometimes for sale (but in the early 90ies their prices were much lower). Unfortunately are some GDR-Volvos nowadays in the hand of idiots, who want to have abnormal prices. |

Until just right now I've seen a very interesting reportage about the Autobahn in the GDR. One scene was from a former Stasi-instruction-film about safety-trainings for the drivers of these leaders-cars. There you could see two of these Bertrone-Volvos slipping around, together with a Citroen CX, a Volvo 164 and two Ladas. -- Last edit: 2007-09-30 01:08:10 |

"made for GDR", too. By the way: was there any other government, which has ordered these Bertone-Volvo's for their fleet? |

I believe GDR was the only one. |
