Sweden. The spot at the foot of Sando bridge with Westerlunds historically marked café and the neon sign with a worth of an entire house alone during the 50’s plus the car museum with cars from past times is historical. New improvements has made it even better when Adalens, which is the proprietor of the museum, expands with another 13400 square feet. by Lars-Åke Krantz. Translation Ellen Kay Krantz.
The Forsman brothers: Torsten, Torvald, Lars and Kjell you seldom see all at once. After some persuation and well placed phone calls they all gathered at the expanded car museum in Lunde.
The Buick is reason enough to visit the exhibit. A fantastically made restoration signed by Lars Stattin’s restoration shop in Nordingra.
The giant building next to the beach of Angerman river has been expanded by two sections. The newly renovated Buick gets the honor spot facing the water and more vehicles are rolling in. The museum is a result of the car interest of four brothers.
The Forsman brothers owns and runs Adalens in Kramfors. One of Sweden’s six biggest vehicle recovery companies with a little bit over 40 emploies.
As chairman of Sweden’s Veichle Recovery Assosiation during 20 years Torvald Forsman has an unique overwiev and the company is top ranked concerning enivironment and technology.
Father Torbring Forsman started it all outside the barn when he quit the cattle business in 1954. The sons are active in the very same field but today everything has changed and the company is one of Kramfors’ largest.
This is how it started. A Chevrolet 1928 is getting cranked and in the background renovated cars that’s with us still. Today.
A walk down memory lane alongside the lighted boardwalk is to recomend. The museum is their baby, their hobby, their relaxation. You can drink some coffee, buy literature, get knocked out by the beauty and the historory of the surroundings.
The red NV (Nymans Workshop) is unstarted! The Tiger from 1951 was bought by a worker on NV that got it for a great price when it stood in Solleftea.
– Come on, we just bought a car, the wife said and the old man rolled the bike into the cellar unstarted.
Kjell Forsman bought the Cadillac 1980, sold it to Ivar’s Car Museum in Hoting but was struck by remorse and bought it back. Now it’s in use for about 320 miles a year.
This is where you can start the High Coast adventure with steep mountains that only ends when it hits the ocean. This is where you get to enjoy vehicles from past times in the natural curve that leaps through the entire Museum.
All ’em brothers have the Car Madness. Torvald Forsman starts an Austin A40 Somerset from 1952 in mint condition.
Westerlunds Bakery across the street. The neon sign on the roof cost 8000$ 1954. Just as much as a new house.
The minute maker Alvsnabben over the Sando Bridge.
The recently renovated Buick from 1626 with a six cylinder top valvemotor is placed on the honorary spot. – A car is a car and you drive most of them as a modern car with one exception, the brakes. To break was a totally different story befor, Torvald said.
Kjell’s favorite. Cadillac 1959 Coupe DeVille with a 325 hp V8.
The matching mint green interior is very rare. Yummy.
The Forsman Brothers has more cars than can fit under the roof and that’s one of the reasons why the vechicles are constantly on rotation. In addition to this, cars and MC’s belonging to other owners gets to do guest performances. An obvious must-see for new old as well as new visitors.
– Open every day the entire summer and the coffe and cake is included in the entry fee.
