Wow! Such a Stylish Old Classic! [PhotoChain Challenge - 100th Edition]

Good morning, friends!

Here's a new entry for the 100th Edition of PhotoChain Challenge, hosted by @davidesimoncini. The keywords for this week are Licence Plate and Red, picked by the previous winners of the challenge: @hindavi and @gems.and.cookies.

(My personal keyword is... Car.)

I saw this beautiful old classic park near a restaurant where the owner went to grab a take away lunch. I couldn't let that opportunity slide so I quickly took out my camera and grabbed a few shots. After all, it's not every day you see such a gorgeous piece of history... and in such a fabulous and pristine condition. From anywhere you looked, it was shinning. 😎

As if the car wasn't cool enough already... this was a convertible model!!!
This is an old Ford Taunus GXL Coupé. (Yes, Taunus... not Taurus, which is probably a better known model.)

The GXL model was the top of the line. It came with all the comforts from the Luxury edition (XL) as well as with the under the hood efficiency and power from the Sports edition (GT).

The owner of this car really knows his stuff. He got the very best possible model, one that was only built until 1975. Afterwards, the Coupé version disappeared from the list of options.

That means this car is around 50 years old. And it still looks great!!! 🤗

Here's the back end of the car. Ford did a really great job on this one. What a beauty!!! Great lines all around! 😊

@trincowski You are very lucky to be able to see it in person and even take pictures, for me this classic car I can only see in your post or in some scenes from foreign films, of course also old films. thanks for sharing here.

I'm glad you liked it. I'd really love to have a car like this but they're pretty expensive to maintain. Also, they look good but aren't exactly safe in case of an accident! And I had a few already! 😆

Bingo. Great entry!

When I was young, Taunus was a popular car here although when I grew older it slowly got scarcer and now, it's nowhere to be seen. This one looks like the owner must be around my age and that he has great taste in cars 😊

I can understand why. These cars are a lot more stylish than the greatest part of current models. 😎
Thanks for your visit and comment.
