I !@#$-ing love Hanomags. They're such good-looking cars.

Everything including PlastiDip.

It isn't the end yet. While there will only be one model, all Lancias in the future will be based off Alfas, which is a lot better than four Lancias based off Chryslers, no? (nothing against Chrysler, I'm a Mopar fanboy I just think they're entirely different marques).

Can you write my Tumblr address (raphaelgranas.tumblr.com) on the side of your car in Sharpie, take a pic and stick it on Twitter?

GOTTA EAT THEM FIRST

YOU POKED THE DRAGON. SIT DOWN Y'ALL BITCHES ARE ABOUT TO GET A (NOT) COMPREHENSIVE HISTORY OF THE POLISH CAR INDUSTRY SHIT YEAH.

Y'all are thirsty for anything Škoda. And I totally understand it, even though I see Škodas every day (I live in Poland). I love how everybody keeps saying "Czech" in every sentence like they're just overjoyed that such a thing as a (mass-produced) Czech car exists.

"This entire post and all comments on it is a wild ride from start to finish."

I took this photo today. This is what they look like now.

Matches the brochure pics below, so yeah.

Good guess, but def not a KB. The first K/KB-series came out in 1941 (I think?) and besides, bullet headlights were pretty much on their way out around 1940-'41.

I-I'm actually OK with this, when you look at it from the '50s perspective.
