And that is a licensed version of the Opel Kadett E, after it was no longer produced in Germany.

The hatchback version of this was sold in Germany with a little facelift, basically all corners were a bit more rounded, but you could still recognize a somewhat familiar shape.

That is how some cursive scripts write the “r”.

See here under “subclasses/looped”. I learned a similar variant in Germany.

Edit: The US uses D’Nealian Script for teaching handwriting, which has a distinctly different lowercase r.

I think you are born in just the right time. “Back then”™ that stuff was normal. Now we know it is special.

*Edit: Typo.
