swiss perfection on wheels

There are shoeboxes in all sizes and shapes. But there's one car that really stands out from the crowd, just because of being so subtle and understated.

Follow the build up while learning a little bit of french, or check out his own photo gallery. (Bielle Chaude)

open house: fischer classic cars

We got no Indian Summer around here, but we're currently having some pretty beautiful fall days. And what's better than spending them with some friends and around vintage tin just like at the open house of Fischer Classic Cars, a reputable swiss specialist for old Fords. By the way, the traditional hot rods almost outnumbered the stockers, but hey, who would complain? Pictures are here.
