Picture published 2010-12-17, Klas Sjöberg.
- Alfa Romeo Bertone 2000 GTV, 1974 or 1975. Observing the larger rear lights one can easily distinguish the 2000 model from the 1600 that comes with smaller lights. This beautiful body was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro for Bertone. At the left in the picture one can make out an Opel Rekord 1900 S.
Parking spaces in Stockholm

Picture published 2010-12-17, Klas Sjöberg.
- VW 1200, probably -65's model. Picture taken at the intersection of Kommendörsgatan and Sibyllegatan at Östermalm in Stockholm. To the right by the bikes one can make out the old parking meters, it was a must for every car owner to always keep his pockets full of change for parking most anywhere back in the days. The Opel record has been parked outside the marked lines marked for parking and too close to the crosswalks, and the Peugeot looks somewhat squeezed.
Two Styled Beetles

- Two hot beetles in Djursholm summer of -73. The car up front is a pinstriped -67 with tuned engines, wide rims with a different bolt pattern than the original, also with rim adapters from Comfort Racing. Cool Ormbo which was a must have for all the remodeled Beetles. The other Beetle must be from 1968 since 1969's model came with the higher neck supports. New engine cover with air-intake and rims are some of the more apparent changes made to the car. Furthest away in the picture one can spot a Volvo 164 and by its side a Fiat.

- The interest to rebuild the Beetles was very big during the 1970's. The standard car was equipped with a weak motor and overall pretty poorly outfitted. The first thing to change was to switch the steering wheel to one in leather with a smaller diameter. After that an extractor system “Ormbo” was put in for better sound effects. Lastly new aluminum rims was put on the car, or in some cases Empi's hot Sprint Star Wheels. However there were people that choose to not stop there. In those cases new chairs, instrument boards and tuning of the motor was also done.
