Here's something we have never seen before. There has been an old guy which has been told collecting old junk around the country but only some of us knew that huge amount of pre-war iron over there!

I've been told that he has collected everything all of his life and now it is time to retire. They are going to sell about one hundred cars during this summer.

Everything is for sale. There's a lot of junk and boring european vehicles but some pearls may be found. At once there will be a wise sale, not some mass crushing! And we thought we don't have old US. iron...

The one on the left is a Tatra.
The one on the right looks like some Sedan with a Hanomag Truck hood leaning up against it.
I would like one of those Panhards he has there... ( or the Tatra.)

What is a Donau, it looks like Audi rings behind the badge?

Jaypee · 06-07-2005, 01:03 PM

One guy told me that the ´39 Linc Zephyr should be pretty rust free.
Just wondering what the price could be...

NorwegianV8 · 06-07-2005, 02:34 PM

Tatra T77 came like that in 1934 and was sort of a sports car

rear mounted air cooled V8's 60hp

the hood is leaning up against a saab

Sailor · 06-07-2005, 05:32 PM

The truck-hood isnt an Hanomag but an aircooled Magirus Deutz Merkur. Pretty cool trucks actually.

You are right, Hanomag Trucks were smaller, right?

**mazdaslam** · 06-07-2005, 07:27 PM

WOW!!! I counted 6 Lincoln Zephyrs and several different parts. Amazing!

Yes, I believe they were.

Received sad news today, the owner of property has passed away. He definitely won with the hugest amount of toys. We will see what happens to the collection. R.I.P.

Norrland · 05-05-2007, 05:15 AM

A Hupmobile coupe, maybe around '28 - '30, from the looks of the grille badge.

That Volvo 544 sedan delevery is way cool I wonder what it would cost to get to Minnesota USA????
Drop a 289/ T5 in it and have fun.

Mr. Esko Rahkonen, famous singer and car collector, passed away yesterday at age of 70 in hospital in Tampere after heart surgery.

It is said that the man who has the most vehicles when he dies is a winner. Mr. Rahkonen is a winner at least in Finland.

It all looks foriegn to me
