Reminder of the previous message
Today I'd been on a local spare parts market. Due the rain-showers it was very empty. I had time to look for stuff, some IMCDBists have asked for, but unfortunately I haven't found anything except a wee brochure with a K 70 on the cover and two original and official Mercedes Benz-photos with interesting plates. At least I could made some pics for you.
As to be expected these two guys went to the market, too:
US-spec -as all of them- 912 E:

I don't see the red rear sidemarker along with the blinker
At first I thought, it was one of the 1978-1980 trials of GM to place US-cars on the West European market, but it's a later used import (taillights, dealer-badge)
Nice find, ingo
That is 1977 Chevrolet Caprice Classic, probably second-handed private import
No, this is not an official Bundeswehr-entity-sign 
@rjluna2: here you can see the leashes for the window-covering kit:

Missed the Perseids once again but instead of shooting stars, i got to see Galaxies..
1969
1969
I see you found 1969 Ford XL SportsRoof here
At the same time ( and parking lot ) as the 1965 was a 1977-1979 Pontiac Parisienne too, on the front shot we actually see the Galaxie behind the Corolla
That looks like 1979 version to me, Baube.
A few impressions from a short trip to Luxemburg.
@rjluna2: a product from farest Northern Germany

in luxemburgish usage:
btw.: the traffic signs in Luxemburg are funny, a wild mixture of Belgian and German material - and also a wild mixture of the languages. Sometimes there are sign in German and French one the same pile.

I have this posted at Temporary Traffic Signal Lights.
Red blinkers are illegal in Germany, so they are replaced by the orange lights. This is the first step, buyers of freshly imported US-cars are doing after they picked it up.
The same did my brother-in-law with his 912 E, he imported in December 2010.
This pic ist from Noon:
At sunset it already had orange indicators. I've changed them immediately after the arrival at home, when the Porsche was still on the trailer.
I was with a friend, we were talking, joking, etc and i really got lucky to realize that there was a Mercury Mariner just across my car ( i was about to back up and go away when i did finally paid attention to it )
Of course, this one being sold only in US made me believe that i would get a US license plate too but life is full of surprises...
Mercury buddy, you're not in Kansas anymore...

Thanks rjluna2, i'm always a little bit lost when it comes to that series
Saw this today but i don't remember if LX had a 5.0 option in those years or if its a repainted GT
1983-1984 Ford Mustang
rear shot
Full size and some additional views from some cars i've already posted available at https://www.flickr.com/photos/zytonits/albums/72157657965721746/with/21466124606- /
JDM-car. British plates with integrated dealer-ads are quite rare, I think.
Again I strongly recommend, to have always a camera with you! The following sights are all from this morning, when I just walked a few hundred meters through my village, to buy bread and my news magazine.
I had to notice, that I'm not the only RHD-Vauxhall-driver in my district:
The sticker on the right back door is from this company:

A few impressions from a very short trip to the Netherlands (just for some minutes checking the swap-meet of the Dutch license plate collector club plus a short walk with my wife through the town of Nijmegen.
This is no.499. Only 5 of them exist in Europe:
Belgian personalized plate:
What would be Holland-trip without DAFjes?

While visiting a tram yard/warehouse(?) this afternoon, I took photos of these nice trucks used when trams break down:

Snapshot from this morning at our local gas-station, which belongs to an old-established Fiat/Alfa/Lancia-dealer (who owns also the Japan-re-imported Delta Integrale.
Isn't it incredible ugly, this US-spec version?
Sorry for the bad quality, my windscreen is very dirty.

Ugly but extremely rare as named Scorpion. In Italy there's one too around Naples, spotted and posted on many sites/Facebook groups.
In the first picture I see also a Lancia Lybra sedan... Mustn't be so diffused in Germany, I guess

No, it's a rarity. But as I wrote, it's an old-established Fiat/Alfa/Lancia-dealer (I think since the 1960ies), so for that reason we have some unusual rarities in our village. But all from the last 15,20 years, nothing older.
Annother catch from today:
@rjluna2: it's the company-car of an maker of illuminated advertises
Absolutely rare in Italy!!!!
SAAB 9-5 (2010 model)

This message got me triggered to keep track of the NG9-5. I saw seven today but only had time to grab the phone for four of them:
I also saw a very nice 1965-1968 SAAB 95
This afternoon on the way back from my office:
