This is an example of taking a non-Joe vehicle, and making it work really well. Coming from the Indiana Jones line, this staff car (which initially serviced the Germans) was a stroke of genius. Back in the old school Palitoy comics days, the Red Shadows came across as very European and very old school German... I hesitate to use the word Nazi but they certainly had those strong dictator-led European military elements. In my opinion, this car suits them perfectly.
