I went on a sunday cruise recently to a castle
with a car museum. The castle actually has three museums; one
with automobiles, The museum is about 80km from the southern
parts of of Stockholm, Sweden and are open in the summertime
(June-August). |
As a Cadillac fan I focused
my camera mainly at those cars, |
|
The oldest Cadillac was from 1906 and the second oldest was this 1915 model with one of the first V8 engines in the industry. This car also has the Delco starting and charging system, the generator is visible at the rear of the engine. |
|
While in the early years of motoring, do compare the European Peugeot with the American Buick to the right, even in those days the American automobiles where bigger than the European ones! |
|
While on the subject of big cars, the V16
is really massive! This model being an chauffeur-driven automobile, the driver actually sits outside! |
|
The front of the V16 |
|
This OVERHEAD valve engine has 32 valves and dual carburetors and water pumps. |
|
Today all are talking about
steering wheel controls, |
|
True-spoke wheels with a V16 emblem, did
not check the size, but the size is huge. |
|
This Limousine really puts
the competition (R&R) in the shade! |
|
I did not take any pictures in the horse-drawn-carriages part of the museum, but this in one photo of the room dedicated to the golden age of the juke-box era |
|
Heading back home again! |
