    Kardex translation - help required please!

    Hi

    So I recently got a copy of my car's Kardex and wondered if people here could help with translating some of the text:

    (1) Catacolor
    (2) Rundumverglasung
    (3) Stoℬstangenhorner
    (4) Gummipuffern

    The 'Handler' is listed as P.C. Pacific, Burlingame and the 'Wagenbesitzer' is listed as someone in Riverside, California.

    As the original owner bought the car in Portland Oregon, can anyone shed light on the term Wagenbesitzer?

    Thanks for helping me sort out more bits of info about the "Grey Ghost" - the name the original owner bestowed on the car!

    "Händler" is the dealer
    "Wagenbesitzer" is the original owner of the car

    davep is correct about the other options

    Interesting that the original owner of the car on the Kardex does not match the name of the guy who told me he is the original owner... (his name is handwritten in the owners manual)... is it possible that the car was initially registered to one person and then diverted to another dealer? This is what the first owner wrote me:

    "She was purchased at Riviera Motors (no longer a Porsche entity), and the sales man's name was Todd Webb (who raced 911's at Portland's International raceway), and the owner of the Porsche dealsrship was Gunther Knapp. both are deceased long ago, as is their company"

    The name on the Kardex is (I think) Dave Roa, Riverside, California...

    Thanks for the translations...

    1 Catacolor = Name/brand of green tinted glass
    2 Rundumverglasung = "glass all round" (Catacolor Rundumverglasung = Catacolor green glass all round)
    3 Stoßstangenhorner = Bumper overriders / Bumperrettes
    4 Gummipuffern = Rubberbumpers
    5 Handler = Dealer
    6 Wagenbesitzer = Vehicle Owner

    That's where my car came through and where it lived for many years.

    As the car is slowly coming back together again, I need a new windshield. Does 'tinted glass all round" include the windshield?
