The VW club and the Porsche 356 club had a gathering at the Folkemuseet.
All people over a certain age have a relationship with Folkevogn-bobla. An exhibition of folk wagons therefore hits most people, not just us who are car enthusiasts.
The square full of Bubbles!
When I stood by a Bubble with a split rear window, I dreamed back to 1964 when we went on summer vacation with the neighbors in their 1953 model. I studied the thin bakelite funnel and the tight interior space. My father who was 1,92 tall was sitting in the passenger seat with my little sister on his lap. Behind sat two ladies and me. The neighbour's 12-year-old sat huddled in the small room above the engine. There was a huge load of luggage on the roof rack that we couldn't fit in the front. The trip was more than 30 miles one way, and I don't remember how long it took, but Bobla walked fine the whole way. The only problem was that all the adults smoked - all the time.
Join me around the city area at the Norwegian Folk Museum this fine May Sunday to see these fine air-cooled cars. At the Folkemuseet, Folkevognene formed some fantastic timepieces.
Like being in a small Norwegian town in the 60s.A Kurierwagen (181) with effects system that stirs up dust.A 1303 1973 LS Karmann Cabriolet.Unbelievable that this is 43 years old.The 1303 interior was more modern. Here, I think it looked more stylish than I remember. Notice how the pedals are attached to the door.Traditional interior with obligatory flower tassel and the beautiful bast basket under the dash. Snatch holders were probably more rare to see.One of the oldest at the meeting. A 1950 model - completely polished.The split window rear window was retained until 1953.Says something about the fantastic condition this car is in.The interior is taken from another split window bubble at the meeting.Interior image taken from another bubble at the meeting. The room behind the back seat was a popular hangout for us children - also at speed.The direction indicator is a luminous rocker arm that pops out on the B-pillar. Note that early models did not have the triangular air vent. It first came in 1953.Here is the nice interior of a bubble with an oval rear window (1953-1956).A lavish 11-window T1 bus. The more windows, the more valuable. Samba had the most routes, with a total of 23!The spartan driver's seat that characterizes the T1.Westfalia created the special roof solutions that provided extra sleeping space under the roof.A Westfalia Camper flanked by two other camper solutions.Today, these cars are among the very few that actually cost more on the continent than here at home.The kitchen of the large camper.Also includes this nice Westfalia camper completed in 70s style.I thought this was really stylish. Good ceiling height with pitched roof.One of the few Porsche 356s. This is a 1959 model with 75 horses.59 model at the front with a 63 model at the rear. At the very back is a T2 service car.Is there any better vehicle to transport Porsche parts in?I fell for this '73 911 S in trendy '70s green.Correct rims and rear side window in air position.At the gas station in Wesselsgate, a gentleman stopped by to fill up his bubble.I wonder if it was the dentist's bubble that stood outside the dentist's office.This split-window bubble passed the pharmacy on the way home.Cheeky message on this T2 Transporter.This beautiful 1302 S was parked along the wall.Correct and up-to-date decoration with Sanity's May flower (you remember it, right?) and Wunderbaum.
