FSO Polonez Caro Plus

Well, this is one of those cars that you normally would pass without a second glance. But suddenly it dawns on me that this Simca lookalike has something strange to it… So just to be sure, I take some pictures, let’s see what internet has to say about the car. It took me some time [...]

Volkswagen Karmann Ghia (Type 14)

I so love the looks on this car! I have spotted a red one before, in a parking lot in Leiden, but this baby blue beauty is a looker as well! What do you do when a car like this drives by your house, looking for a place to park? Well, normally you would get [...]
