Guest weaving Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 here is another photo from my "box" a street in Sweden 1939 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Casper Friedrich Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The dark car with the signal horn in the middle and script on the radiator is a German Hanomag. The rest would be american cars, isn't it a Plymouth sedan 1933 a little bit ahead of the hannoverian car? Quite typical for the Swedish car park immediately before the otbreak of WWII. The european (=german) cars were making their breaktrough. Even without the war the Swedes would have been more orientated to smaller cars than 1939 Chevrolet and Ford v8 85 horsepower. Speaking of Hanomags of this type in Nordic countries, there was a least one in the former Finnish city Viipuri (Vyborg). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 The car at the far right looks to be a 1934 Plymouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzcarnerd Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I agree that the car on the far right is a '34 Plymouth. It appears to have the independent front suspension so is a PF. Behind the Hanomag is a 1936 GM product - possibly a Chev Master? Next back looks to be a '35 Plymouth - probably not common to see them with sidemounts - and behind that a '35 Chev Master two door or maybe it is a '36 Chev Standard two door?

Guest weaving Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I can read back on the photo, Volvo Carioca, could it be the car on the left side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Casper Friedrich Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Yes, it is the car on the left side. Volvo in those days resembled very much american cars. Carioca was their version of Chrysler Airflow... Not very many were made, 500 examples. They were probably hard to sell. Some of them were exported to Finland.Here is a front view of a Volvo Carioca today:http://www.autosphere.ru/images/stories/image5/Volvo%20Carioca1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
