Oval window gasser, 1967. Looks like plexiglass windows.

I'd just like to add a word of hearty thanks to everyone that has contributed to this thread. These photos are wonderful!
I'm in the very beginnings of a '56 Standard project (the car isn't even home yet) and the many photos of Standards here are being saved as reference for the day our project commences. Nothing better than pictures taken when these cars were new or nearly so! |

I don't remember ever seeing an oval with front fender top indicators, especially in the vintage setting. Anyone have some insight? _________________ “If you care for a thing long enough, it takes on a life of its own, doesn't it?

German laws were changed requiring them. The rear bumper of the car in front would indicate the 1960s. _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.
