VW Sharan Model, Garden State Railway Club
The Garden State Railway Club members try to get everything i its display to look authentic, bu they got this detail wrong.
Right in the middle of their model New Jersey blue-collar town is a model of a Volkswagen Sharan minivan. But the Sharan has never been offered for sale in the United States or Canada.
I've only seen one Sharan in real life. It was on Labor Day, 2001, when i was cycling up Park Avenue in Manhattan. I came across a parked Sharan as blue as this diecast model, parked on the street, with New York plates - I assume it was bought overseas or imported from Mexico on the gray market - and I left a note under the windshield wiper wishing the owner good luck with the car - which VW dealers in America won't service, of course.
