Cars of Coolhaven

Well, I shot these pictures in front of the Dutch Architecture Museum some time ago, but was struggling just what kind of Ford truck this is. Weeks later, and… we are finally getting there. I got some responses on a Ford truck forum, and the match is made with some other pictures. This is a [...]

In the city center of Rotterdam, this nice vinyl roofed Capri passes me by. The earlier spotted Capri was, ehm, lets say a bit overstated… so here are some pictures of a Capri in a a bit more moderate color scheme… for some nice specs, check it’s orange cousin here on the site…

Let’s stay with Ford for a while. On Coolhaven, I spot this green old Taunus XL Automatic. Comparing it with pictures online, I would say it is a 1970-1976 Taunus TC.
