And note the pointy sidepanel trim tips again.
Well, and the wheel paintjob is unusual as well.

IŽd be fine with that.
Because I may not find unknown animals or countries that could be named after me.

1948 deluxe prototype
With pointy "Carsten trim" on a higher location than usual.
And with the weird hubcaps that where only seen on the car for the
empereor of Abessinia
and on a Heb prototype.

It looks like regular trim, not carsten trim, doubled up on the king's car.
(If we say carsten trim enough times, it will catch on -- also, it's a car part, so "carsten" should be lowercase.)
