1959 Ford Consul MkII [205E] Pilestredet (1963)	tore-40	@andrepa: Jern-Gustav is the name (nickname) of an old switcher or shunter on Flåmsbana. Displayed at Flåmsbanamuseet for some years now. BTW, we still use the term 'drosjekusk' (in an ironic or pejorative meaning) when referring to a taxi driver!	2012-08-26 07:39
1958 Opel Varebil [P] Pilestredet (1963)	tore-40	Back then the cargo vans (Varebil) were not allowed to have side windows. They were based on a standard wagon (Stasjonsvogn) but with no rear seats, just as today, but no wall against cargo room either. Do not know the exact tax level but much cheaper for the customer that did not need the seats. Even so, up to eight passengers could be transported.	2012-08-23 01:07
1958 Opel Varebil [P] Pilestredet (1963)	ingo	Yes. And the luxoury-tax was added on the regular -very high- price. Sure, Norway everything is extremely expensive (but the people there also have very high wages - the reason, why many Germans are emigrating there in the last years), but the other Scandinavian countries are known for high prices, too. This makes it attractive for other EU-citizens (S, DK and FIN are in the EU, N not) to purchase new cars there. The local tax will be deducted and you have to pay the local tax, when you import the car in your own country. This makes a difference, plus the fact, that the basic nett-price is lower there, too. Because the car companies cannot take the same nett-prices everywhere, because then the cars would be too expensive for local customers.	2012-08-22 20:51
1958 Opel Varebil [P] Pilestredet (1963)	cl82	But aren't cars also rather costly there (compared to other European countries, although they're not as crippingly expensive as in Denmark)?	2012-08-22 20:41
1958 Opel Varebil [P] Pilestredet (1963)	ingo	It's true, that in Denmark you have also to pay a "luxoury tax" for the extra options, when you buy a new car. No idea, if it has changed in the last years. So for that reason you could see in DK many basic trim lines, much more than in other countries. But don't become offtopic here - this movie is Norwegian.	2012-08-22 20:16
1958 Opel Varebil [P] Pilestredet (1963)	andrepa	heard a story, that in Danmark you have to pay less taxes for Opel CaraVan without windows fiscally a commercial delivery truck than!	2012-08-22 13:49

1955 Studebaker E-Series Pilestredet (1963)	andrepa	thank you, Lateef , for checking it, seems to be the heaviest one in range, by chassis	2012-08-22 13:37
unknown Pilestredet (1963)	Lateef	Aw shucks, I can't believe I didn't check Nord-Verk on google. It just really looked like Jord-Verk when I looked at it yesterday. Gosh darn heat. Both names are likely for such a company, which is another reason why I thought Jord-Verk Nord-Verk: Northern Works Jord-Verk: Soil Works -- Last edit: 2012-08-22 10:04:42	2012-08-22 10:00
unknown Pilestredet (1963)	CougarTim	Definitely says Nord-Verk - http://www.flickr.com/photos/24862621@N04/6581285479/ They built dump trucks and road graders, but I can't find any bulldozers.	2012-08-22 04:51

1960 Auto Union 1000 Pilestredet (1963)	Andre Malraux	GAZ 24 Volga taxi: http://fiat.3xforum.ro/img/pics/fiat.3xforum.ro/ok_9210.jpg Moskvitch 407 taxi: /vehicle_338875-Skoda-1102-STW-Typ-938-1949.html Both in Bucharest. As a child, in the '80s, I traveled quite often in Dacia 1300 (Renault 12) taxis: /vehicle_376766-Dacia-1300-1982.html . I still remember the telephone number of the taxi company (only one at that time, owned by the state, of course ): 053, inscribed on all taxis, like the one in the photo. I also remember the mechanical (not electronical, like today) counter, which registered the number of km. The nostalgia of old taxis... -- Last edit: 2012-08-21 22:00:03	2012-08-21 21:46

1960 Auto Union 1000 Pilestredet (1963)	Andre Malraux	Lateef wrote Yes, there were definitely more Pobedas. They were very popular as taxis and the drivers liked them for being spacious and durable. Pobeda taxis in Bucharest: Link to "3.bp.blogspot.com" . I love it, I have a scale model Pobeda. Lateef wrote The Volga M-21 enjoyed corresponding success in the 60s You had also Volga taxis? GAZ 21 Volga taxi in Bucharest, 3 july 1964 (the driver speaks french ): Link to "www.ina.fr" . We also had Warszawa 203 ( ) taxis, but never in Bucharest: http://fiat.3xforum.ro/img/pics/fiat.3xforum.ro/ok_22944.jpg . In the '80s, on the road home - school/school - home, it was a grey Warszawa 203 in perfect condition, like new, which fascinated me. -- Last edit: 2012-08-21 17:14:33	2012-08-21 16:11
1960 Auto Union 1000 Pilestredet (1963)	blinski	Wow, according to this site (I don't know how reliable it is), 'if looking at the year 1958, cars built in the USSR counted for more than 20% of all new cars sold in Norway that year'. http://www.home.no/migreg/engelsk/othereast.html This, plus great number of American cars make post-war Norway probably the most diverse car market in Europe (or in the world?).	2012-08-21 15:56
1955 Studebaker E-Series Pilestredet (1963)	Lateef	Yes, I agree on Studebaker. Having checked, it seems like the first Studebaker truck powered by a V8 engine was the 1955 E-Series. It also appears to have a one-piece windshield, which appears to have been introduced in 1954 or 1955 -- Last edit: 2012-08-21 15:33:41	2012-08-21 15:30
1960 Auto Union 1000 Pilestredet (1963)	Lateef	Yes, there were definitely more Pobedas. They were very popular as taxis and the drivers liked them for being spacious and durable. The Volga M-21 enjoyed corresponding success in the 60s, but the Volga M-24 of the 70s helped decreasing the reputation of this proud Soviet marque in Norway. -- Last edit: 2012-08-21 14:57:03	2012-08-21 14:56
1960 Auto Union 1000 Pilestredet (1963)	Weasel1984	But they had also gazes IMO.	2012-08-21 14:50
1960 Auto Union 1000 Pilestredet (1963)	blinski	Car on the right side of the street - isn't it a Warszawa M20? I know it was exported to Norway in small numbers around late 50's.	2012-08-21 14:47

unknown Pilestredet (1963)	Lateef	Actually it says Jord-verk. I can't find anything on this company, I believe they were a company simply reserved to renting out dirt-moving equipment.	2012-08-21 13:53
1952 Hudson Pacemaker Pilestredet (1963)	Commander 57	Taillamps look like the simple, horizontal ones of the '52 Pacemaker/Wasp or the '53 Wasp. Since I can see no indication of a trunklid emblem or a chrome strip over the rear bumper, and the side trim appears very simple, will list as 1952 Pacemaker barring any dissent. -- Last edit: 2012-08-21 15:06:58	2012-08-21 13:37
