Location: Grenoble - France | The Schlumpf brothers recreated the Bugatti Royale coupe Esders, so I guess the Norseman can be recreated, provided that $$$ are not an issue ... |

Location: Parts Unknown | The Schlumpf brothers ? I have heard "sexy" names, but "Schlumpf" takes the cake, the blue ribbon, AND the big, gold trophy !!!
I can only imagine life in hell as a 13-year-old kid with that name. No axx-kicking coming his way, uh-uh ! |

| Anybody else notice this from Photo #2 above?
There seems to be a little wooden mock-up or model of some kind of station wagon...
This guy obviously enjoys model building... and he's quite skilled at it, too!

Location: Parts Unknown | I noticed that Lord Exner had two schools of "fin thought". One was perky and racy. The other was heavy and ponderous, or disjointed. The Norseman fell into the latter category in my eyes. Cool, but not the look I would want to drive. I guess we all need a "project" ... and this guy sure has his in this one ! Not the car I would pursue, but very cool to see SOMEONE doing !
I wonder if the choice of fiberglass construction is based on potential sal****er exposure ?
I hear the last one got wet.
OK, what is wrong with writing " s a l t w a t e r " ????

You need to check out his website at the link above and see the other ones that this guy has done.
The little station wagon is one of the Corvette Nomad show car. He has already made a full size Futura body.
He worked in a the boat building business for a while so that is where he gets the fiberglass background. |
