I hate Illinois Nazis!

You forgot the “So long, suckers!” speech bubble...

Thank you!

Sadly, normal people don’t buy them anymore. They buy every bland, uniform, cowardly designed 2WD-Crossover/SUV-shitcan they can get a hold of.

the brochure was in German? I can’t imagine the Germans were buying many american cars in the 70's
