Black Mark 4 VW Passat
This was quite a find.
This is a 1997 Volkswagen Passat, the last year of the fourth generation of the car. The fourth generation was actually a refreshing of the third, facelifted with a proper radiator grille. The design of the 1990-97 Passat was an evolution of the Auto 2000 concept car Volkswagen displayed at auto shows in the early eighties.
This particular Passat has a 90-horsepower TDI diesel engine, though it's not one of the rigged engines designed to cheat U.S. emissions standards. Those standards wouldn't be implemented until 2006. Diesel or gas, though the Mark 3/4 Passat is a worthy car to keep going and a true nineties gem.
Alas, the NMS and B Passats are going the way of the passenger pigeon.
