Talked to these friendly 4 legged 1hp friends today.
They told me they would donate if they could type the numbers in.
Asked me what the name of the Cruiser is and I told them it`s ...
...Moulin Rouge the Red 45 Can.
Best name we ever heard congratulation, Sir.
Asked me how much I give.
Told them 45 Euro....
...that´s fine, Sir they responded.... have a nice day, Sir.

the only reason I would butcher my piggy bank to complete Moulin Rouge is a hood ornament.
Not any hood ornament only the one and only hood ornamnet that would fit
Moulin Rouge the Red 45 can.

100 Years of Adjustable Light
The Origin and Topicality of Flexible Lighting
1919 was a year of upheaval, of social and political renewal. One hundred years ago, electricity and electrical lighting arrived at factories and homes alike. In the same year, the engineer Curt Fischer from Thuringia had his ‘adjustable universal wall arm’ patented. Born from the necessity of providing suitable lighting for the workstations in his own factory, he developed ‘special illumination devices’, lamps with a large degree of flexibility and for multiple applications. These lamps have now been produced for 100 years and their distinctive aesthetics integrate perfectly into various environments, at work, in the office or at home. The 1920s design avant-garde at the Bauhaus and elsewhere discovered Fischer’s lighting devices and applied them according to their needs. Designers like Marianne Brandt, Marcel Breuer, Walter Gropius and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy, and also Lyonel Feininger, Egon Eiermann, Sep Ruf and Jan Tschichold were fascinated by the lamps’ glare-free and adjustable light. Architects, photographers, typographers and painters used them in their studios and designed interiors, in which ‘the Midgard’, as a modern lighting appliance, was a firm favourite. Featuring original lamps, patents, letters and drawings, as well as short videos, the exhibition recounts the evolution of the lamps from the Thuringian company, alongside contemporary and current developments from various designers and manufacturers.

“Will We Ever Kill the Bug?”
VW1.jpg

......Last week while watching a snowstorm pass through a Volkswagen “Beetle” TV commercial from the 1960s came to mind which asked the question, “Have you ever wondered how the man who drives a snow plow…..gets to the snow plow?” .......

“Will We Ever Kill the Bug?” | The Old Motor

An entertaining & informative vintage automobile internet magazine.

Interesting comment about snowplow drivers. Just last week the plow driver on the other side of our mountain was stuck in traffic because of cars sliding all over the place. No Volkswagen, he had a pickup truck, but point well-taken. Our guys here arrive early before a storm and start plowing once it starts. They'll continue making runs throughout the night until it stops snowing; and then before leaving, lay down a bed of cinders--no salt allowed in our local National Forest.

Yep, VW had a reputation for never giving up--like a cockroach !
 
:)Before the VW New Beetle was born 1997 they made some concept design studies.
In 1993 I visited a VW concept car exhibition.

earlier this month, designboom was invited to audi's concept design studio in munich, where we took an exclusive behind the scenes look into the development of the crosslane plug-in hybrid coupe.

Was one of the first New Beetle design studies they made 1993 with a rear engine.
If they would ever build one again they couldn´t answer at that time...

1919984

....the first time we have seen one on the road was in the USA.
Think they sold the New Beetle first in the USA.

Oh, this reminds me that we have seen the new 1996 introduced Mercedes-Benz SLK
the first time in the UAE before you could see the SLK in a showroom in Europe.
They presented the new one in our Hotel in Abu Dhabi,/ United Arab Emirates we stayed for some days.
Later we traveled the Oman
Best time to travel the Globe was between 1980 -2005 and we did it.
Less tourists around ....no internet, no smart phone ....no machine that show you the way you have to drive.
You needed road maps and to prepare your trip you have to read books before ... incredible today.:)

My rear view mirror with clock I have had in the 45 should be a 1920 's 1930 's car accessory.
Found the mirror somewhere in the USA during a trip .... loved it immediately.
Don`t know what I´ve paid for and never thought I would nail it in a Land Cruiser.
But my FJ45 can was perfect and so the can got the clock
produced by the New Haven Clock Company.
The New Haven Clock Company produced a variety of aftermarket automobile clocks. *

...This clock is in excellent cosmetic condition. It runs stong, and winds and sets as it should. It comes as part of a rear view mirror assembly that has its own mounting bracket at rear. The mirror glass is perfect. There is one area where mirror paint has scuffed at rear (could easily be redone). Face of clock is excellent as are hands and graphics. Rare find, great price!
 
You'll never walk alone......since 14 years :)

Every morning in Frankfurt's Fechenheim district, an Arabian mare named Jenny takes a leisurely stroll through the streets by herself. But she has to wear a card that reads: "I'm called Jenny, not a runaway, just taking a walk. Thanks."
For more than a decade police have had to tell worried pedestrians calling in that Jenny is known throughout the neighborhood and that she does not present a danger, local media reported this week.
"The police know. When someone calls in, the police ask me: 'Werner, do you know where Jenny is?' Yes, I say. 'Ok, then everything is in order,'" Jenny's owner, Werner Weischedel, told "Maintower," a news show.
"We've never had to do anything before," police spokeswoman Isabell Neumann told German news agency dpa.
