Glade Green metallic 66-76-GX was bought in 1968 by Frank Schram from dealer Ten Hoeve. From 1978 to 2005 it had been standing workless in a garage. It came back on the road again in 2005.

It is standard except it's been lowered a bit.

It served as a wedding car to Frank and Marianne's daughter, who enjoyed her first ride in it as a baby.
