A bit O.T., but from that Passat the license-plates are still alive. The most plates of our other cars, too, but that pair went to the shortly openend Mercedes Benz-Museum! #

Mercedes Benz take to much care about their cars in the presentation, that they've asked one of the German license-plate-freaks, if he perhaps can organize authentic plates from the years, their cars were built. So he did. He asked around in the collector's forum and finally got a few pairs. Later on, he and a friend brought them to the museum.

I gave that pair of plates, without asking for money. The honour to know it in a big museum, was enough for me. But I made one stipulation: they got this pair only, if it will be mounted at one special car in the collection. Otherwise I would take it back.

Now you guys can guess, what Mercedes Benz in the museum is allowed to wear our old license-plates.
