Great video Steffen, parts of it reminded me of a film Fritz Lang might have done.

 

Old ferry looks the same!

 

Interessting compare. Yes, really dramatic imagery and camera angles. Very expressionistic style!

From Dawn till Dusk ...

 

WOW! GOOD STUFF!

 

Age 9 my first home built hot rods.

 

My first real hot rod

 

My first up grade

 

Last up date - danger - danger - danger

 

Looks like hanger 1 out on Moffat field. Skins off it now.

 

Not in the USA....

 

Mountain Iron, MN High School, 1928 - school transit ranged from buses to sedans:

Are the three on the right (one bus, two sedans) Studebakers?
Same place, 1952:

 

Saved this photo from the trash pile at an estate sale. Lima, Peru, late '60s/early '70s:
'51 Windsor 8-passenger sedan with a few trim mods around the headlights - wonder if it's still around?

 

The "Not in USA" trailer (caravan) shot.. the Ford looks like it has Dutch plates. The Dutch are a keen caravanning and camping nation. Obviously not taken in Holland, though, Holland is not noted for it's mountain ranges.

Mart.

A google image search netted a higher res version, in a thread stating "Some images from Norway".

The Volvo appears to have Norwegian plates. If the Landrover was British, that's a long way away (especially in one of those) The caravan looks typically British. The Dutch Ford has also been driven a long way. I know which one I'd prefer to use to cover such a drive.

Steffen ^^^^^^^^^^^ some cool vids, but some have no place on the HAMB IMHO.

 

Wich ones?
I was looking 1000 hours every pic in this thread and I saw many pics generally about social live, girls etc. (I also saw many pics later than 65).
I thought this thread is also a little bit to understand the social, political and cultural background of the time when the cars we love are produced.
In my oppinion this is a basic for everybody if you talk about "traditional".
But no problem - if I'm wrong with this just tell me wich movie I shall delete.

 

I had a 50 8 pass sedan for many years and wish I would have never sold it,with a modern drivetrain it would have been a excellent long distance cruiser.
