Sinsheim and it's sister museum Speyer display pretty much everything from a Stihl chainsaw to Concorde :) Awesome places where you can easily spend a day, Sinsheim being the original and older place is easier to go through as Speyer felt bit chaotic at the end of the day.
Sinsheim had a display of "50's American Dream Cars".
Awesome 356B Carrera.
Carrera showing it's Volkswagen origins :)
356SC.
Indian Four.
Indian Scout as Wall of Death machine.
I remember Harlan Thompson from early 80's magazines for being an American racer who toured Europe. If I remember correctly one of the first Finnish Top Alcohol Funny Cars (either Aartomaa's Trans-Am or Dodge Omni) was previously raced by Harlan Thompson.
Blue Flame World Speed Record car.
I am starting to like Coke-bottle shaped Corvettes again even though been told by powers that be that "forget it, looks so ugly, like a crowbar".
Lamborghini Miura.
The mandatory Speedster.
Funny how modern Ferraris start to look old and outdated quite easily but the 50's - 70's cars don't lost their appeal.
Remains of a Stuka.
A frickin' Cal Looker in Sinsheim?
One of the VW Beetles displayed was this de-chromed 'Vert on Fuchs. It is no Aaronson/Holmes car but still nostalgic.
Vintage adjustable front suspension, flip-front supports, "German-style" horns..
Malev!
I liked the idea about displaying planes on these poles but on the other hand it would have been interesting to see them on ground with full interior etc.
