Much searching on google,

Then I looked in your gallery, and found a banner in one of the photos.

That, led me to the answer.

That was a good one, You made it tough

No photoshop here. The Mexican owned Borgward only built 10 of these in 1968. The first one was gifted to the then president of Mexico Gustavo Dias Ordaz. The other nine were for the Governor of Nuevo Leon (the state where the car was built), and the rest went to the major stock holders.


Here's a picture of the regular sedan built from 1967 - 1970 (outside the plant) before the company closed the doors.

Cool Re: Can anyone guess what car this is?

My Father owned a 1961 Borgward Isabella TS, if I remember correctly the car was extremely unreliable.
