Hm, would that have been a 2CV - or Ugly Duckling as we say in Holland? | ||

No, it was an ID19. The next one was a DS21. I miss those cars. I never heard of Glasspar's cars before, thanks David. | ||

Ah, la Déesse ... the goddess! Or Snoek (pike) or Strijkijzer (domestic iron) as we say in Holland. Picture one of those with any other car that was on the market at the same time - you can't really notice the other car. | ||
