Photo Gallery «Picture story Oldtimer in Obwalden 2022 - Red threads and silver arrows»

Name: BMW Isetta 1958
Brand: BMW

On June 4, 2022, all kinds of classic cars gathered again in Obwalden (O-iO). After a two-year break, the event returned with around 500 classic cars. The folk festival in Sarnen, which focuses on old cars, once again offered plenty to discover for the attentive observer - sometimes to make you smile, sometimes to make you think. Daniel Reinhard was there and brought along a picture story.

Whitsun is the best time to ring!

Sometimes the daughter mounts with her father ...

... the taferl on the radiator grille

The hat certainly didn't get stuck in the heat, ...

... but protected the boss's head.

The drinking water was delivered by FBW truck ...

... and parked in the shade, ...

... where the English had their catch basins.

Not only in the rear-view mirror, ...

... there was also a lot to discover in the shop windows, ...

... which also led to longer waiting times for some men

What remained at the end were brochures ...

... and empty coffee cups.

The electrical technology is not really new, ...

... it is only being politically promoted to an immeasurable extent at the moment, ...

... which will not solve our problems, but only shift them.

Pictorial law of interaction: Round architecture to the angular car ...

... and the whole thing in reverse again.

He just wanted to collect his AHV pension, ...

... but unfortunately there was far too much going on for once.

I remembered a Silver Arrow as being a bit sportier, ...

... and I've never heard of this type of car before.

But while we're on the subject of colors:

So there were complementary ...

... as well as metameric colors

The very last winter sports enthusiasts came into the village from the mountains, ...

... where one or the other vehicle was still equipped with the "ski tires".

Skin ...

... and hood are artfully and open-heartedly refined, ...

... although there would have been sufficient privacy protection.

The aircraft noise on site was extremely minimal, ...

... but the car engines were music to the ears.

But rather joining a monastery ...

... or at least a visit to church ...

... than going to the social welfare office.

Real power under the hood can leave clear marks on the asphalt, ...

... or even lead to distortions.

The many passenger journeys led to an endless traffic jam ...

... as is normally the case in front of the Gotthard tunnel

But help was already on hand in the event of overheating problems.

Rather in the Isetta with plenty of space for getting in and out ...

... than with the rollator towards the final resting place.

Thank you too!
