What's the ivory-colored car? Is that a BMW? The grill looks like it might be. Looks like you guys had a good time. Thanks for posting the photos.

It was an enjoyable day. Jurgen I already knew, Army I knew only from the Benzworld-forum and Miguel I met for the first time.

Couple of pictures:

Minerva, a Belgian car.



Fiat



Old racer:



DeSoto cab



Red car, in the background you can see Army photographing



Little horn



Big horn



Snake horn



Teardrop window



Supercharged Cord



Here we are re-enacting the final scene from For A Few Dollars More



Red Mercedes



Rolls-Royce, one year before the Spirit of Ectasy was introduced, so there is a little deer on the radiator cap.



Copper headlights




The Louwman museum can be found near The Hague in the Netherlands:
Welcome to the Louwman Museum - LOUWMAN MUSEUM

The ivory car is a 1955 Daimler DK400 "Golden Zebra" Coupé, created by Lady Docker, wife of Sir Bernard Docker, who was chairman of Daimler Motor Company at the time. One year after this car was made, he was ousted following a boardroom coup.

Some interesting cars, thanks for posting this. that one in Post#15 is an interesting looking travel trailer set up. looks like it could have a sizeable amount of tungue weight.

What, no groupe picture?

This one is a Daimler DK 400 "Golden Zebra" coupe.

According to the blurb in the museum a former night club dancer who married the chairman decided to go into car design. This was the result. I can include a copy of the picture of the information blurb on this one if you want.

Sorry Charlie no group shot as yet - the waitress took one look at my camera and picked up Jurgen's instead! I guess either Miguel or Jurgen will add it later.

Oh to be locked in a garage with tools, steel, an arc welder, and an old pick up truck so I can make my escape!
