What's this I spy? No, not the Alfa station wagon in platform shoes* although that's pretty hawt, too; I mean the car in front of it.
Matching trilby and W113 Benz is, paraphrasing
Kevin Creighton, approaching maximum hipster. I couldn't tell if the Becker was tuned to
WICR, but I wouldn't bet against it.
I would definitely roll around Broad Ripple in this
Pagoda with the top down & listening to smooth jazz if it were mine, and I'm not even a huge jazz fan.
I think it was a 280SL. The front end is Euro, lacking the bumper override guards and sporting the one-piece headlamp/fog light assemblies that were
verboten on U.S.-market automobiles back then. However, the rear-view mirror appears to be a later post-'68 black-bordered safety unit and the rear fenders have the FMVSS-compliant side marker lights.
Could be a gray market car, could be that a later owner just liked the cleaner Euro schnozz. I mean, my '94 Mustang has '96 taillights because they look better and I've had people notice that.

The sight of that Alfa Stelvio, which is one of the few members of the "Compact Crossover SUV" genre that isn't as dull as a math class in mid-May, did make me wonder what the odds were of the hawt-looking Italian station-wagon-in-platform-shoes still being on the road in 2072.
