1947 Franay Bugatti

from the Paris Fair in 1948, a powerful Bentley with special bodywork by Franay, the car seems to have disappeared without trace.

Has to be a homemade trailer... cute! (I was corrected... see below)

The trailer is of east european origin, polish or czech. Its originally intended for motorcycles.

Found around the corner from my girlfriends apartment, reminded me to ask you, what's in your neighborhood?

I'm not very good at identifying the shoebox Fords by year... but I think this is a 1950 Custom

Lost to yesteryear, only known to us by photographs

It was called an Auto wash bowl (right there in the photo) and probably existed until the modern car wash idea

1916 Chevrolet board track racer at the velodrome. You've probably never heard of a velodrome, or board track racing. Both were made obsolete when modern paving was invented.

A variety of cool vehicles and stuff I wanted to show you that I got from Svammelsurium.blogg.se

1939 Labourdette Rolls Royce Phantom

1969 Mercury Clyclone Gt 500 ( it's the first and only time I've ever heard of it)

A Divco dairy truck from Garden Grove

the ELC10 made by GM in Stockholm during WW2, electric powered

Good looking to me, and one of the later Edsels. Already doomed by the first run, but they did get a couple good looking designs before they were killed off. Marten commented that the 1960 Edsel is one of only 76 convertibles produced, supposedly the only one outside US.

Very cool instrument cluster and steering wheel design, in a Panhard Dyna Z1, a very exciting car built in all aluminum.

Via: http://svammelsurium.blogg.se/ is the blog of Marten, who commented that the electric three wheeler was labeled model ELC10. General Motors Nordiska is name the scandinavian GM branch in Stockholm that built these during wartime, when all other civilian production was halted. They also built a couple of electric truck prototypes. Rrad the comments for Marten's unabridged writing.

Thanks for the corrections and aditional information Marten! I believe you must be the Svammelsurium.blogg website, and I compliment your extensive coverage of cool automotive stuff! Great blog!
