Not sure if that's a '46 or a '47.

Sure looks like it to me (back window isn't wide enough for a DKW).

Both versions are handsome cars that are surprisingly modern-looking. The Coupe in that photo even has an au courant shade of neon blue.

Aw come on, you'll have to be more specific johnmoore!

Certainly early 1960's. I think possibly successor to 3500 which was named after a US race circuit. Not Laguna !

Not an early 60s model, that was the 3500GT, this was indeed the follow-on which used the same engine but had Vignale coachwork in place of the earlier Touring bodies. Yes it was named for a U.S. race track.
Hint: the same name has been used for Plymouth and Chrysler models.

As a kid, I was slightly mystified why Italian car manufacturers would want to name their cars after American places.
No real idea why!
Cheers

Several reasons-
It was important for them to sell in the world's largest and richest car market
Celebrating racing successes in places like Sebring and Daytona (there were Italian cars dubbed LeMans and Mille Miglia as well).
Sounds cooler than Bathurst, Adelaide or Mallala

Guards Red, originally?
The 928 style wheels are the giveaway. The S , unlike other iterations of the 924 used the same Porsche-built motor as the 944 rather than a Volkswagen or Audi-sourced engine. It was not very successful despite selling at a discount compared to the 944 which had more aggressive bodywork and wider tires.
Ironically I almost bought one in 1987 but had to wait so long for delivery I gave up and bought something else.

When I was in 8th grade, I did a school report on the 924. Essentially, I got my dad to take me to the dealer and get a brochure, then cut the pictures out and put them onto poster board.
The one fact I remember about the car was the cD - .36. Which was good for 1978!
(at least, Porsche was proud enough about it to specifically call it out in the brochure!)

Read my post again Shifty. The 924S was a real Porsche with the same exact motor as a 944.
2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93
I was referring also to the price of parts, like the rear hatch glass.
To my mind, there is only one 944 worth considering---the 944 Turbo.

I wish we had those windshields today. The A pillars of new cars are so far forward and thick resulting in a reduction of visibility. I know, it's for roof strength.
You aren't the only one who misses the wraparounds, I loved 'em and still do.
GM introduced them in on the Caddy Eldorado and the Corvette, some lesser GMs got wraparounds in '54 but Chevy and Pontiac didn't until 1955 by which time Ford & Chrysler did as well. They started going away after 1960.
1953 Eldorado-

Format helpers are working but emoticons do not. That's better than the other way around but right now I really need an emoticon for exasperated.
