Some Cs in Haapsalu

[Finn Yorker]

We spotted some C-bodies in Haapsalu during American Beauty Car show weekend 12-14th july in Estonia. They are mostly from Finland but that white 62’ Imperial is from Estonia.

Thanks! What year was that overloaded Newport 'vert? Looks like a '69 to me, but can you confirm?

@Finn Yorker

Did you have a deeper look at the HT8 72 Imp?

If you did, how rough is it ``in flesh``?

Looks like a great event. Thanks for sharing.

Hey, @ImpJay ,
I talked to owner of that-72 Imp, they where in same hotel with us. If I remember correctly they were from Lappeenranta area and they drove through Russia to Haapsalu!
About Imp, you can say it was "a little rough " outside but inside was little better...

No, I didn’t but in April it was in the American Car show parking lot and it is rough on the outside. I remember seeing a picture of it in FB in winter and the owner said that it was his daily driver.

@OldWarHorse300 It was nice to meet again and maybe next year you can buy the beer that you promised.

BTW, how big that event is and what kind of action is there? Is it more cruising around than burning rubber every time the cops go away?

I’m still underage for couple ABCS’s...but we were thinking about trying to get a room from Framare next year.

It’s in old town of Haapsalu and for that weekend the whole old town is closed from other than USA-made cars. It is mostly cruising around and actually burnouts were forbidden in the old town.

Officially the event is a two day car show and music festival at the Haapsalu castle, there is usually international artists and bands. On sunday there is Drag racing at the local ex-military airport.

That´s a reason alone, but I regret opting out of attending Big Wheels so...
