I think 'Societe Anonyme' means the same as 'Proprietory Limited' rather than just 'Limited'... it means that the liability of the shareholders is limited, so they might as well be anonymous.

And maby ather freind from here comes to Piower Big meet? Ian?

If the US ever gets done in Iraq, I believe we will be invading Europe and bringing our cars back home! I have it on good authority that we already have plans for Cuba after Castro is gone. Lol!

I have a question that's a bit unrelated. What is the deal with the rebel flags over there? People in the US are touchy about that flag, and I was wondering what signi***ance it has there. I don't have any feelings about it either way, but the people who fly that flag here are few and far between.

mopar56 - 2007-08-29 6:21 PM

Mostly it's because of ignorance. A lot of people here don't quit understand what that flag symbolize, they just think it's a cool flag. I have asked a lot of people on different forums over here why they use that flag and if they understand what kind of signals they send by flying that flag. Some are aware, and are their true belief, others again of missunderstood US-patroism. I have asked some of those if it wasn't better to use the Stars & Stripes if they love USA that much, but no " the rebelflagg looks much cooler"

Ignorance are a bliss :(

Thanks, Joakim.

And again, my apologies for mangling the Raggare term and proper definition.

58 DESOTOS RULE - 2008-01-03 12:43 PM

I kind of like "roughing it" with a 1959 Imperial and a couple of Caddys. That's camping in style!

Tom80 - 2008-02-27 8:24 AM

Vedette, do you have a picture with a closer look of the burgundy 57 plymouth 4drht (4th from the top of the last series you posted)??

All I can say is that this thread is, and has been one of my all time favorites.... The Photos are great. It is as much a resource as it is shameless "eye candy". Keep those pictures comming.

Wow! And a '53 hudson Hornet! Thanks for the pics.

1959 Belvedere Conv - 2010-03-09 10:42 AM

When I hit Powerball Lottery some day I am going to Sweden and buy back as many as possible!

I do have to thank the Swedes for saving so many of them (when no one wanted these cars here in the USA) and being the trustee of the FL cars but it's coming a time to bring back as many as possible. I know money talks and BS walks... I just need those numbers to come up right....

:dollar:

Always a real pleasure to look at these photos!! What a parade! Reminds me of back in the 60's cruising Colorado Blvd in Pasadena! Gathering at Bob's Big Boy hamburger drive-in ( the waitresses came to your car and took your order, attaching a tray to the window) and hanging with pals, listening to the radio, (KRLA, all rock, all the time) cruising for girls! What else is there?!

come to think of it, I did it in the fifties too!

Windsor59 - 2011-08-06 3:58 PM

Here some pice from Wheels Nats Stockolm today-
With me were my daughters, the new generation "Raggare" who takes after us
Sorry no cruising pics

Matthew Keij - 2012-01-29 7:10 AM

Can't stop looking at those pics!

Another forward look car will be there this year!

Really wish the U.S. car culture would follow the Swedes and leave hoods and trunks shut so we can appreciate the beautiful lines the designers put onto paper.

b5rt - 2012-02-01 8:48 PM

Thanks for posting so many pictures of the beauties in Sweden!

I used to take a lot of photos of car shows here in the U.S. but gave up because everyone here goes to a show and the first thing they do is open the hood. Then the hood is up for the whole day and it's near impossible to take shots of the cars as they're seen in everyday life. Really wish the U.S. car culture would follow the Swedes and leave hoods and trunks shut so we can appreciate the beautiful lines the designers put onto paper.

Thanks again!

It's sooo fun to check the pictures and see all the friends - makes me whish it was summer. To have a rare car and not use it is like to be married to a beautiful lady - but not taking her to bed.

Before I die.... I gotta get to this show somehow! Thanks to the Swedes for saving all of our old iron when no one cared for them anymore!

Gotta sneak some back to the US somehow... I know a lot of Euro's should do it.

That black 57 300C convertible with the red interior, looks like the one from Crime Story.
