Ford Cortina

Lada Niva (I see this car quite often since it's abandoned outside an pizzeria not far from me)

This is a Ford Granada, The cortina was the UK-verision of the old Ford Taunus. The Ford Granada is still quite common view, especially in small towns in the countryside.

The Lada Niva is not very common anymore, but in the 70's and early 80's russian cars had a rather large share of the market here.
In Finland the sales were probably the highest outside the countries behind the "iron curtain"

A pair of vintage 911s. Unlike pretty common 997s these are a rare sight:





And a pair of Chevy Caprices, both in exactly the same location

Nice pictures! Especially the Holden and the Maserati. The Saab 900 is not very special to me since I live in Sweden and those still are quite frequently seen. But I understand that it would be very rare in Poland

Like the Quattroporte? OK, here's another one:



There used to be a blue Quattroporte in the city too, but I don't see it anymore.

And another Maserati...



... and another...





... and another:

Nice cars I don't think i've ever seen a Maserati in Sweden, at least not on the streets but possibly on an exhibition.

Even if you have the money here, you keep your profile low.

Rolls-Royce, Maserati and Ferrari are cars making other people envious, you don't want to do that
in socialist sweden. No tradition of excess in Scandinavia. Rich here means greedy...


...but not here
In Continental Europe, Russia, USA and the Middle East you want to show people that you are succesful and they will admire you for that.

Very nice cars! I never find such rare cars, but in a nearby town called Alvesta there is an Italian restaurant that during spring and summer has an old Fiat 500 or something similar outside. I will take a picture of it as soon as I see it again but I probably have to wait a few months

[Satyricon84]

If you like Fiat 500, here for you a colorful set















Among rare old cars, this is the most common here
