Parked next to an Edsel; the car the public rejected alongside the car the public couldn't get enough of.

A bit fuzzy since it's a screen cap from "Bullitt". Looks like a '53 or '54.

"Beautiful Dutch Oval"
Two lovely Dutch gals on Holiday in the early 1960's.
Original early 1960's photos of a friend's late production 1955 L 324 Polar Silver European Oval sunroof car.
The car is a unbelievable super survivor, today still carrying it's original Dutch plates and all it's accessories.......
Tom
P.S. I LOVE those fog lamps and their mountings, anyone know what make they are - Hella, Bosch, Marchal?
The present owner doesn't have them, the're gone along with those strange "aftermarket" Export overrider bars.

I'm not so sure there is anything strange about the overrider bow. It may be a standard fitment, but with the short European overriders.

A Oval Window Beetle sitting on the Grand Staircase at Inlow Hall, Eastern Oregon University after a Halloween prank sometime in the late 1950's.....

Nice to see she's smiling. Today the kids would probably get expelled.
