DESCRIPTION
The car museum traces the development of cars from the end of the 19th century to the present day and contains one of Europe’s finest car collections. Right now, there are about sixty vintage and classic cars in the hall, including the Mercedes 540K from 1936 owned by Prince Gustaf Adolf, who was our king’s father, and the Cadillac V8 from 1939 owned by Gustav V, and which gave its name to the King’s Curve.
Other unique cars in the collection are the Mercedes 300 SL “Måsvingen” from 1955, the Mercedes 290A from 1934, the Cadillac V16 from 1931, which was ordered by Ivar Kreuger, the Horch 853 from 1936, the RR Silver Ghost from 1921, the Hertel from 1898, the Clement Panhard from 1898, and the Austin Ulster from 1931.
About fifty vintage aircraft models hang from the ceiling, with the largest, the B17 Flying Fortress from 1942, measuring 3.2 meters between the wingtips. The environment is complemented by numerous exciting enamel signs and beautiful old petrol pumps.
