Autotron Summer Swap Meet

With its history dating back to the 1970's the summer swap meet at Autotron Rosmalen was taking place last weekend weekend.
Autotron was at the cradle of the swap meet outbreak in  The Netherlands when it started this event at the former Lips Autotron car museum.
Several initiatives by other parties followed. Most of them disappeared again making 'Autotron' iconic in the Dutch old car scene, always offering a wide variety of cars, parts and stuff challenging hobbyists to widen their interest.
While I was surprised to see an original Oldsmobile Curved Dash on a previous occasion, this time it was the 1957 Coronet Excelsior 3-wheeler parked outside, that got a lot of visitors' attention ( Éxcelsior stands for the '250 Twin' (238 cc)  two stroke engine)
Claimed by seller to be one of 7 remaining from 250 produced a rare bird in remarkable good condition.
Adding to the atmosphere was this DKW covered in decades of dust and with a nice early Dutch licenseplate, where today's miracle term for additional value  'schuurvondst' (barnfind), certainly applied.
