I believe that was the sedan Auth Ethel drove through the hedge maze. She was such a card.

"Some expensive European imports, such as Mercedes-Benz, B.M.W. and Volvo, even increased their sales. Mercedes, for example, sold 63,050 cars in 1981, over 17 percent more than the 53,790 it sold in 1980."
50-60K sales for expensive European cars by brand. Meanwhile the Japanese makers were agreeing to cap sales at 1.8 million. Sit back and learn.
