    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 Škoda, 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-)))
