Uncle-Pekka Posted May 1, 2015 Report Posted May 1, 2015 1st of all I need to confess, that I was not there cruising my car, but merely a spectator. Unfortunately my cars are still in the winter garage far away... 2nd turn down for you guys is, that I did not spot any flathead mopars in this 1st cruising of the season here up north. However, there were nice and inspiring cars and good people around, thus I deciced to share some of my favorites; This model T is a recent import from Canada, I learned. The fellow doing on-site-tuning is the owner and a long time clasic car enthusiast, famous in Finland for supplying several movies with period vehicles... 2 Quote
Uncle-Pekka Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) What a weekend! The highlight of the 1st of May cruising was an amazing new import to my home town; 1934 Bugatti type 57 ! This car, chassis number 57196 is one of the first type 57 made. I never belived there would be a genuine Bugatti in Finland, let alone in the town I live. http://www.coys.co.uk/auction.php?itemID=4910 Sunday we vent 100 miles south to city of Lahti, the venue of the Classic Motor Show of Finland. I walked around the show and parking lots for five hours... The big news (to yours truly) was newly imported 1946 Chrysler Town&Country convertible project car, photo of the rough project on display below. http://www.cruisingnight.fi/index.php?view=category&catid=491&option=com_joomgallery&Itemid=152&page=2# On the parking lot there was this 1939 DeSoto. (Do you recognize the green car beside?) ... quite rare 1938 Volvo (I've never seen this vintage Volvo before)... ...and a 1938 Dodge 5w coupe street rod: (I hated the low stance and wide low profile tires on alloy spoked wheel, thus took photo of the ram only...) Too many fabulous 50's & 60's cars to report here... ...also racing cars from all ages, rarities and world famous ones... Oddities... Have you seen 1943 Tatra truck designed by Hans Ledwinka? A big truck with single tube frame? 60's tube&canvas bodied Velorex three wheeler? (There were two of those there) Mid 50's Fuldamobil CABRIO !?!? link to my photo page; https://plus.google.com/photos/110347134300169324122/albums/6144690444760326833?authkey=CKX8zdPYmvyZbg Edited May 4, 2015 by Uncle-Pekka 1 Quote
Uncle-Pekka Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Some oddities as mentioned: -the velorex: P70 Zwickau Coupe with cardboard body (yes it is...) A FOUR door FIAT 600 from the 60's (FIAT 600 was the most popular small car in Europe, but I've never seen a 4D, did you know such existed?) The Maicomobil (mid.50's, Germany) German Phänomen 3-wheeler form the beginning of the 1900's Edited May 4, 2015 by Uncle-Pekka Quote

Uncle-Pekka Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Posted May 4, 2015 although cars are cool.... really, no trucks? It was a CAR show - we have truck show separately... However, I mentioned the 1943 Tatra; Notice the single tube frame; drive shaft enclosed in the tube frame. 1 Quote
