Silvretta Hochalpenstrasse (High Alpine Road), southwestern Austria. Fantastic scenic and curvy road is utilized for a yearly classic vehicle rally. First opened in 1954 to regular traffic, to reach the Silvretta reservoir.

I agree! Weird. |
know I'm late to the party, but the zipper was original to the factory accessory panel covers (that came with factory ordered extra seat covers). I had 2 cars with those. _________________ Hotrods, Fords, Veedubs and Triumph Twins !

Wow, I wonder if any NOS door panel and seat covers sets exist still? That would be worth finding the right car for them! |

Sorry for posting this in the vintage pics thread but seems somewhat appropriate. factory vinyl panel covers in my old 55 Standard. same style as seat covers.
also had a beige 57 that had red vinyl covers w/ zipper over the og polka dot cloth. _________________ Hotrods, Fords, Veedubs and Triumph Twins !

The boy walking the dog is in shorts, people are sitting on the deck eating and relaxing, nobody is wearing any kind of heavy coat, and the sunroofs are open on the cars....with all that snow on the ground? Must be a different kind of cold in the region. |
