Fiats Ruling Toldboden… Until Chevy Stole The Show!

May 19

At the very beginning of this Toldboden meet-up it seemed like the canal-side turned into little Italy – with a visit of a trio almost straight from Turin – two Fiats and a Lancia. The first manufacturer was represented by an 850 Sport Spider and an Abarth 695 EsseEsse, whilst the latter by a Fulvia bodied by Zagato. Although all three were stunning, it was the convertible that drew my attention as I reckon it was the first time me seeing one live. In really good condition and in vibrant green, it composited greatly with the surroundings. On the contrary, the white hot-hatch had some lovely details too, such as checkered mirrors as well as the engine lurking from underneath the boot. Lovely cars!

My ‘car of the day’ however does go to the 1933 Chevrolet though, which came rambling around the parking lot before entering the ‘royal’ parking spot, with undisturbed view on the canal. I have seen this exact car last year and you can read and wished for another tête-à-tête ever sice. An amazing double-seater which resembles a little bit the 2-door model. Regardless how hard I tried, however, I could not research any model like it. The car itself was nothing but class, even though it shouts out loud how old it is with the ‘33’ proudly painted onto the grille.
