Tim has his own vintage Ford T pedalcar. Dad found it at a breaker and Max
renovated it. He won third prize in the
Concour de Charme competition in
2003. In the middle photo he drives up to the judges, the photo is taken
by a press photographer. |
 |
My own vintage car, an Opel GT 1900 from 1971,
see much more here.
Seen from the front with the headlights down and up, and from the rear end,
nice butt! |
 |
Seen from the side, slanting from the front and slanting from the rear end.
He looks nice from all angles. |
 |
A nice photo Joan from the
Opel GT
klubben has shot. |
 |
My brother has a Morris Minor 1000 from 1959, which he
has rebuilt with our dad, when he was about 20 years old. He drives it daily
and now it needs a new renovation, but it is still nice and very cute. |
 |
Dad is a vintage-vehicle-nerd, so before I present his vehicles, I want to
show you his garage in which the wizard carries on his magic. The first
photo shows their house with their daily cars (and my dull Winter car)
outside. Dad at his work bench and a lot of glasses filled with doodahs, the
row of glasses can turn. |
 |
More shelves and small drawers filled with doodah. And one end of the
garage. |
 |
Dad's plate smith tools and his lathe. If you have very old vehicles, it is
impossible to buy spareparts and you have to own a lathe to be able to make
the parts yourself. The vintage phone is used to call mum for a cup of
coffee or for help when e.g. airing brakes. |
 |
Dad has several garages, barns and even a huge tent to store all his
curiosities in. If he collects!? Nooo, not much! ;) At the last photo is
seen the car mum should have had, a Fiat 500 Topolino from 1937, but until
now it has taken dad about 40 years to renovate it. |
 |
Dad's many prizes, the Harley almost always gets a prize, and if not, dad
gets dissappointed.
Dad's collection of mini-cars, alle cars/motorcycles he either owns or has
owned. My brother has made the "Viggofon". |
 |
Let's start with mum's car: a very rare Fiat 508C Balila fra 1939, named
Frederik. His name is on his rear end. Mum drives him daily, also when she
worked as a domestic helper. No, there is no doorpost in the middle, the
doors are called a "mother in law" doors. The cover on the back seat is the
dogs. |
 |
Inside Frederik. Mum and I in front of the judges at the Concour de Charme
competition, dressed as elegant ladies from 1939. The last photo is taken by
a press photographer. |
 |
Dad's daily car: a Chevrolet Stepside truck from 1940.
The "wooden" dashboard is painted. |
 |
He has built a very nice camper
he can put on top of the truck. Here vi are at an exhibition of vintage cars
eating breakfast.
You also sleep well in it. :) |
 |
Every home needs a vintage tractor! |
 |
Dad's lates project: a Messerschmidt from the mid fifties. It is in fact a
famous moviestar since it has belonged to Nordisk Film. At the last photo is
the keyring with the names of the movie it starred in. |
 |
And here is the finished result, so nice, I fully
understand dad is proud. It is like a magnet to people everywhere. At the
last photo you can see it inside. There is room for two, not too big, people. |
 |
And here you can see the "lawn mower engine" with the
water can exhaustion and the nice logo at the front and the sticker dad has
got for its side |
 |
Lastest purchase for the collection: an MG TF from 1955. A rare 1500 ccm in
a pretty good condition and which he will drive the coming Summer. |
 |
Dad's dream was an Indian Big Chief from 1947, so he drove with my sister's
husband to Munich and bought this one. His number plate is his soldier
number, normally you cannot order a specific number, but dad knows everybody. |
 |
My brother has made the saddle bags and the saddle and has carved a tomahawk
and an indian chief in the leather. The headlamp is shaped as the head of an
indian chief too. |
 |
There are lots of indians on this machine, here on the front mudguard, the
handlebars and the gear shifting lever. |
 |
The needle in the speedometer is an arrow and there's also an arrow abreast
of the engine. |
 |
Dad's very old Harley-Davidson. It is a jubilee model from 1925 and VERY
rare! He has been told that there are only max. 10 of them left in the whole
world! Dad has won in the Concour de
Charme competition. |
 |
Here he is in the prize line and in the next photo he gets his prize. |
 |
Details from the Harley. I love nice vintage mechanism. Dad is only the
second owner of this very old Harley. |
|
|
My brother has a vintage Morris Minor from the late fifties, but I'll have
to take som photos to share with you.
My sister doesn't have any vintage cars, but several off road motorcycles. |
