The 13 year
old Chevy

This 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air two-door hard top was purchased by a 22 year old guy in 1967. He still have it.
The guy went down to Hudiksvall to buy this two-door Chevy in 1967. You can only imagine how proud he was steering it back home.
American cars in everyday traffic were nothing unusual even if this picture is taken a few years earlier at the Taxi office in Iggesund.
At the time for the purchase it looked more like this in Hudiksvall.
Our car enthusiast drove it for four years until 1971 when the engine broke down and it was parked behind the house amongst pine trees and miscellaneous junk. Since then, it hasn’t moved an inch.
The trees have widened and the branches works as a comforting and protective cover against weather and wind. The car was 13 years old when parked for the last time. Many have asked if the Chevy is for sale but they have all received the same answer. What it was should be obvious since the car is still parked in the same spot underneath shielding branches, just smelling flowers.
