I saw just three in a month in 1988. a burgundy one just at the corner in Jerusalem between the old city walls and Ben Jehuda street, a cream yellow running on the lane along the sea shore in Tel Aviv or Jaffa and the third one, a white in a scrap near Jericho in the West Bank -- Last edit: 2020-10-29 15:11:44

electra225 ◊ 2020-10-29 23:34	Maybe Mexican Datsuns were first
