We’re on a bit of an old timer kick here- including vintage Opels, German-market Fords, and other European “heavy metal” (by the way, how great is it that the term “old timer” is a legal definition in the Netherlands and Germany?). It’s hard not to be intrigued by these cars – and the culture behind them – when they’re unavailable to us and differ markedly from the domestic market and its, er, culture. The same could be said about the Fords and Holdens of the Australian market.
The ultimate irony, of course, is that the cars from abroad likely looked to and took their cues from the America of yore (cool America) for inspiration- and appear to continue to do so in the culture that lives on today, albeit with a distinctly European flair. And thus the circle becomes complete.
Wonderful photographs by Mausi_Monroe.
