No clue what this is, thought you might be able to identify it.

And a pink caddy is just cool, especially in Holland.

A cream colored version of the caddy shown used it's back bumper to amputate my leg one fine summer day back in '76. Took 3 years before I could walk on the cobbled up result.
Street fair kinda thing... bumper to bumper traffic. guy came out of an alley backwards at high speed. The view I got just as he cleared the drive and cam into view was about like the pic. I was on a Harley.
GTX with auto and 3.23 gears ran 14.9 @95.4 mph in a '71 test The 4 speed cars and hemis were much faster.

But how was the Harley!?
:D
On a more serius note. is that when you gave up bikes?
Had a buddy lose his leg from getting hit on his bike, the man powered kind, he pulled a dumb stunt and jumped a middle devider and hit a 71 nova head on, the nova was doing 50.
They took it off right above the knee, then went back in 3 more timesdue to infections. The end result was the whole leg gone, not even the hip ball joint.
He was in ICU for 8 weeks.. was having kidney failure, and had to have all kinds of sugery to fix his jaw, and other stuff, damn shame, the guy was 22 at the time.

In Canada and the US pink caddys usually means "Mary Kay". It is a cosmetics company that get housewives to market the products to all their friends etc. It's almost like a tuperware party type business.
The top sellers in a given region get presented with pink caddys as a reward.

WRX?
Its been a while, but isn't that a "Roadrunner"?
Always had trouble telling the Challenger from the Charger from the Roadrunner.

That is one ugly chryco.
And to think they were beautiful the year before. At least it isnt a 72 (the year the muscle car died.)
The moment the GTX lost the Belvedere prefix they got super ugly and slow.
My brother has a 68 GTX 440 4 speed. It has 4.88s in the arse end. I have never driven a car that wants to toss you into the back seat as much as this one (granted it has low-backs.) When you mash the throttle the whole car just stands up and the front end gets really light. And that is saying something for a car that weighs 3600 pounds.
I have driven faster cars but none with such a feeling of brute torque (that feeling you get in the small of your back.)
