Right, I am back and some of our daily power cuts are now 4 hours long.
We now move into a later period of the cars in hall 3 at the museum.
We are still at the Franschhoek Motor Museum, and this is the third hall of the total of four halls at the museum. I have published the link to the motor museum website in the posts of the first and second halls, and I will post the link again later in this post. It was so great to stroll through the halls, and to allow one's mind to wander in the past. In some instances, I could see the original proud owners standing next to their brand new cars, with broad smiles on their faces. Of course, by now, most of the original owners have left this planet and they are somewhere in a better place.
So come and walk with us.
The first photo is of this DKW 1938.
Then we had this beautiful little Austin.
The famous Ford Model T 1923.
Now how is this for a lovely Merc. Convertable?
This was a big surprise for me, as the company normally makes much smaller cars.
Look how long this car is!
Are you also surprised that it's an Alfa Romeo?
The MG is another of my favorites.
Ah! And this beauty! Also brings back great memories.
I think that you can see the earlier traces of a well-known car below.
Finally, the last two cars were some of the most popular vehicles ever built, and some of them are here on our roads, still every day.
Now I do not know where they got this bicycle, and I think that it was called a Pennyfarthing. How would you like to go for a spin on this cycle?
No, don't ask as I have never had a chance to take a ride on one of those old bicycles. To tell you the truth, I don't even know how a person would get on to the saddle, never mind going for a spin:)
You will have to wait a little bit for my delivery of the final Hall 4, as we are battling severely with the power cuts here. I hope to do it at some time on the weekend. Maybe Saturday, but we are strapped for time and I will see how it goes.
I also still have the Motorbikes that were displayed in all four halls, and they will all fit into one post, but I can do that at some time in the future, depending on if you want to see them. There is one called a Norton, that I was very much interested in, as it has a great history.
But for now, this is Hall 3.
I hope you have enjoyed the pictures and the historical cars.
And That's All Friends.

Thank you kindly for supporting a post on behalf of @papilloncharity
cars that were very popular in their time
Oh yes and in those days a car was the ultimate prime possession.
I liked the bike the most among the photos.
Well I am glad that you at least liked something!
Ford brand cars are still very eye-catching
Oh yes and that Ford Model T had its own fan club.
Too bad alfa romeo weren't serious about their cars. They probably have the most beautiful cars ever.
Maybe they concentrated too much on the racing and gave less attention to their road cars.
I know that they didn't have a good reputation about the quality of their cars in the earlier years and I read that they are now going to enter the electric car market.
When my financial situation is good, I want to buy such a historical vehicle and take a few tours in the city.
You better hurry as they reckon that oil will be at $200 per barrel in the future.
WOW what an amazing collection of vintage cars, sorry to hear your still having to deal with Power cuts
Thank you JJ and there are 4 halls filled with classic cars. This is the 3rd hall and when I have time (with power) I will also post the last Hall 4.
They reckon that we are still going to see power cuts for many years.

Those cars are like a jewel in these times any collector would pay millions for one of those so well preserved
Oh yes, their values appreciate every year into record figures. I for one can never afford it, but I think with the gas prices so high, a ride in one of them can bankrupt one :)
