Default Bought a 1930 Coupe

Sold my '53 Customline and bought a 1930 Coupe, waiting for it to be shipped from California to Sweden.

Running and driving car, I am very excited for it to arrive.

wow, the interiour looks a lot cleaner than my Margarethe.


What's the colour? On the first two photographs it looks black but on photo number three it looks blue?


Anyway, i wish you a lot of fun with it!

Nice. Interesting breather addition.

I saw that car on the Southern California Craig’s List recently. Very nice. I was tempted to buy it but I don’t have garage space.

Where abouts in Sweden are you? My Grandfather was born in Trysunda in the late 1800’s.

I had a '28 Phaeton project before but had to sell it a while back to fund a kitchen restoration.

Also had a '53 Customline that I sold to fund this car.

Too bad you couldn't have kept the '53 and bought the coupe.

After a long wait I finally picked up the car yesterday.
I'm very pleased with the condition of the car.
