  • A bunch of friends who impulsively decide to save a 1953 VW Bug from rotting away in a Norwegian forest. No tools, but lots of beers!

    It’s amazing how intact that VW Beetle still was; usually, when they have been sitting abandoned like that for decades, the doors, fenders, hood, and trunk lid are all gone.
    On another note, it would be interesting to see clips on how the restoration process of this Beetle is going.

      Actually we just got drunk at our club house, and a friend started talking about an oval bug he would get for free if he removed it from the forest. We decided that we would go get it the same day, as a couple of us still was sober and could drive. So this is my buddys car, and it's not yet decided what to do with it. I've got plenty of work on my 1938 Chevy forest find @patina_delivery on Instagram

    I wonder if In 53 it was somewhat controversial to buy a German car that was invented during the time of the Nazis in Norway. I mean the Germans did invade Norway.
    The war would have been fresh in the minds and the brand would not have yet been cleansed from the flower power, free love movement.
    Curious if the driver ever felt any trepidation or concern about what his neighbors would think back in 53.

    • @nicolaihjelle819
      @nicolaihjelle819  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You're right - Norway was hit hard by WW2, but still the VW was the best selling car in Norway 20 years later. So I guess most people didn't think that way about the car. Also, many Kubelwagens that was left by the Germans was used by Norwegians as family cars for many years after the war.

      Hei! Ikke helt bestemt enda, men det er definitivt en spesiell bil som er verdt å redde. Må være blant de første ovalene som ble produsert, og attpåtil med soltak! Selvfølgelig mye rust, men bortsett fra førersiden som har fått en skikkelig trøkk er den rimelig hel.

    Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the German Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer...
