"With a little help from myFriends "
This is a custom project of Tom Haltmeyer from Arizona. It's a 48 Roadie with a 50 grille. Man those JAWS!
This is a 47 Super built by Rick & Paula Daenell from Tennessee USA. It's got all the right stuff, and I really like it. The original bumpers are now on my car!
This 100% original, mint (literally) 49 Roadmaster belongs to Jani Saranpää from nearby. When Jani fired up the engine, put it in Drive and let it idle, I could virtually count each power stroke - it must have been ticking some 300 rpm. What a fascinating engine.
This '49 Roadmaster Sedanet is receiving radical custom treatment by Kartsa Saarela. Kartsa is an extremely talented craftsman, a real Sam Barris of Finland!
Kartsa has built this car, dubbed the "Sledanette", little by little, driving the summers and building the winters.
I really like this naked beauty! No bondo, just steel and lead. Nothing to hide.
This is Kurt McCormick having a ride in Kartsa's Sledanette. Kurt attended the A-bombers meet in Sweden in 2004.
Sorry my friends. I know the small size of the pictures doesn't do right to your cars, but I only have sooo little URL space. I do have bigger pictures hanging on my wall. It's great to have friends like you people, especially when 40's Buicks grow in trees here in Finland, not to mention those countless aftermarket shops in every corner. You make this great hobby even greater - THANK YOU!
