Greetings from Switzerland
Hello i'm new here. My beloved Model A is a 1929 Coupe. Her name is Lady Rose. She comes in 1985 from Houston Texas to Switzerland. She's in a good shape with a little "patina". I love Prewarcars and i think the old cars have much more character than the new cars.
This Forum is a real good thing if questions arise. I wish you all a safe ride with your Model A's. Barney from Switzerland. Last edited by Barney; 06-01-2011 at 07:24 AM. |

Re: Greetings from Switzerland
Hello, here are a few other pics of Lady Rose.
I do not drive in winter. Too many salt on the streets in the Swiss Alps. Best wishes Barney |

Re: Greetings from Switzerland
Just curious. My mother's Trauffer family came from a small village called Hofstetten near Lake Brienz. Her Stuessi family came from Glarus. My ancestor Gabriel Stuessi was the caretaker (in the 1800's) of the Brick Bridge in Glarus. There is only a railroad station by that name now.
Have you been to either of these places? Hofstetten is near where the big collection of old buildings is located. |
