1977-79. I want to say Sedan De Ville, but it's more than likely a Commerical Chassis.

The grille looks like a 1979 and it has a lower rocker panel so it must be a Sedan Deville. I doubt it's a commercial chassis car, nor a factory made limo...

Startwagen (Mobile Starting Gate), like they are being operated at hippodromes during harness racing starts. Thanks to S 415 GT for the hint! :) This one was probably used at Trabrennbahn Hamburg-Bahrenfeld.

Münchener Trabrennbahn wrote Startwagen: An diesem Auto sind Flügel befestigt, die vor dem Start ausgefahren werden. Hinter diesen Flügeln ordnen sich die Pferde gemäß ihrer jeweiligen Startnummer ein. Der Startwagen wird für alle Rennen mit Autostart benötigt.


Normally, these are one-off conversions, sometimes built by small companies. This one might even be an imported unit from the U.S. and it looks similar to the ones that were once used in Illinois:

Starting gates on limousine or Fleetwood Series Seventy-Five do exist, but are rather uncommon - a shorter wheelbase means better maneuverability.

Years of running behind Caddies gave derby winners Sadie and Karla a certain appreciation for the new Deville Concours...

Spoiler - click here to see it
(Sorry, I just saw Cadillac and horses and thought of this image that I always wanted to caption. I always interpreted the backstory as how the Deville is so eyecatching even the horses are looking)

I think I bet on the one on the right today, clearly too busy thinking about Cadillacs to win the 14:40.
