Another great blog

[barrett]

Thought I should share this - The Svammelsurium blog is one of my favourite auto-related sites out there, despite it all being in Sveedish. Content is hugely varied but he sticks to a few key topics - coachbuilt obscurities, Swedish car show pics, cars & planes etc. Full of really great period photos. It's been a bit quiet the past couple of months, but the further you go back the richer it becomes - rich in chod, that is.

Those last two are from 'the Melin Collection' which is a huge batch of colour and B&W shots of people posing proudly with their cars in the USA from the 50s-70s, really fascinating stuff

Spot the Mk3 Cortina wheels and hubcaps...

 

Not one but two 1960 Impalas! Gorgeous!

 

 

In March I was driving down California streets that looked just like this! Didn't see a Taunus or a 100E, but I did find a Mk1 Cortina and a herd of Mustangs. Excellent!

Just spent an hour 'loosely' reading (courtesy of google chrome translator) through the Melin Collection. Brilliant Stuff

Waits to see if Mr Hatred gets annoyed.

I just tried to carry that one on but this new phpbb board only lets your quote 3 times, I bet old Len had something to do with that!

A half decent photographer would have made much better use of the wheel trim which if shining like a mirror, ought to be used as one. Don't you think?

That's a shame. I suppose you just need to start again then.

Thread resurrection! I happened across an Australian blogging site that looks at many aspects of the automotive world, including such things as failed racing cars, successful racing cars, but I'll set you off on this: the Australian Goggomobile importer's GRP bodied sporty version.
