    2. ("Tall" instead of "tell". Nice job, clumsy fingers! Mental note: Do not post comments with the phone.)

      So, it is a Skoda 100. The best I could dig out of this beast in English is a short Wikipedia post:

      The coupe version of it is a really nice car, I consider the second most beutiful car that the Eastern Bloc could come up with:

      Fun fact: The company Skoda is named after the engineer Emil Å koda, who have been purchased it from the founder, back in 1869. But the meaning of the word "skoda" in czech language is a source of endless fun / pun towards Skoda owners: "damage pity harm detriment". 8-)))
