Four of these aluminum 356s, chosen for their light weight, were converted into race cars, known as the 356 SL Gmünd Coupes. Two were prototypes and two were entered in the 1951 24 Hours of Le Mans.
A man by the name of Chuck Forge bought it in 1957 and ended up racing it until he passed away in 2009. The car was then sold to its current owner, who turned to the Emory family of expert 356 restorers to return it to its original 1951 look and feel.

It was released in the UK on 21st November 1975, just as the re-issued Space Oddity was ending a two week stay at #1 on the UK chart.
1975 was a good year for Bowie chart action. In September Fame had given Bowie his first #1 Stateside and in November the Space Oddity re-release was his first UK #1...even though the original 1969 release had peaked at only #5.
The UK press advert for Golden Years (See slide 2) reflected this success with a bold prediction:
October No. 1...Fame...USA (Actually September)
November No. 1...Space Oddity...UK
December No. 1...Golden Years...WORLDWIDE
In the event, Golden Years did make it into the Top Ten in both the UK and the US, but not the top spot.
Nevertheless, it was a great advert for the upcoming Station To Station even if the general upbeat flavour of Golden Years didn't begin to hint at the epic title track of the forthcoming album or the emotionally detached Thin White Duke, soon to walk among us.
The imagery we’ve used is taken from the closing scene of The Man Who Fell To Earth, which was also used for the press adverts along with a Steve Schapiro shot of Bowie on the Cher show.

Original UK release date: 21 November 1975

Vienna’s history stretches back over two millennia, beginning as the Roman military camp of Vindobona guarding the empire’s northern frontier.
It rose to prominence in the Middle Ages as a key trading hub on the Danube and later became the imperial capital of the powerful Habsburg dynasty.
For centuries, Vienna stood at the heart of the Holy Roman Empire and then the Austro-Hungarian Empire, shaping Central European politics and culture.
The city flourished during the Baroque era, when grand palaces, churches, and imperial institutions transformed its architectural landscape.
Vienna also became a world center of music, nurturing geniuses such as Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, and later Johann Strauss II.
In the 19th century, the Ringstrasse redevelopment symbolized modernity and imperial confidence, encircling the historic core with monumental buildings.
The collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I marked a dramatic shift, reducing Vienna from imperial capital to the heart of a small republic.
Despite suffering damage and division during World War II, the city recovered and was restored as Austria’s capital in 1955.
Postwar Vienna emerged as a neutral diplomatic hub, hosting major international organizations and peace negotiations.
Today, Vienna’s layered history is reflected in its harmonious blend of Roman ruins, imperial grandeur, modern culture, and enduring musical legacy.
