Vintage Cars: Volvo P1900


One more P1900 image at Phil Seed's Virtual Cars Museum

Have you ever heard of or seen the Volvo P1900 model? I hadn't. Well, I know practically nothing of cars so that's no surprise really. Learning that only 68 cars of that model were made (1956-1957) of course makes it even less surprising. Read more about it: "I thought it would fall apart!"

Vintage Ads: Christina Lindberg Battery Ad

"Be kind to your radio and your film camera etc. Buy National batteries. It's always cheaper to buy the leakage-safe battery."

Curt of The Groovy Age of Horror blog (NSFW) was kind enough to remind me of this great Christina Lindberg resource: TOMB IT MAY CONCERN - posts labeled Christina Lindberg.
It's NSFW of course. Thanks Curt!

Swedish Actresses: Christina Lindberg


A promotional photo uploaded to Vintage Photo by are you asleep. - 3 more!

Christina Lindberg as Frigga / Madeleine / One Eye in the Swedish movie "Thriller - en grym film" (1974) also known as "Hooker's Revenge" (USA) (reissue title), "They Call Her One Eye" (USA) (censored version), "Thriller: A Cruel Picture" (USA).

Christina Lindberg was not only a successful actress in movies with an erotic touch but she also was a well-known pin-up model. Here you'll find quite a lot of examples from that career and screen shots too. I should not have to explain that it is NSFW. Should I?

Ephemera: Badges


This is the badge collection of Johan Urban Bergquist. I found it on his weblog (recommended). I'd guess the collection is mainly from the 70's and perhaps early 80's. I'd also guess one might say it was, at least partly, a typical collection for a Swedish kid at that time. If you were a ska fan.

Music: Right On! Soul Hits



A repost after about two years:

"Right On Soul Hits - the stone smashes that are in the charts today! The big ones written by James Brown, Joe Tex, Marvin Gaye, Wilson Pickett and a host of others. The tunes that are lighting up the soul charts from New Orleans to Boston - L.A. to New York. A right on collection in the original sound." (from the Liner Notes)

I don't know who's playing but I think the recordings, on this album released in 1972, are great. Groovy listening!

UPDATE: The show is over.
Sorry for the inconvenience but if you are truly interested mail me (martinklasch AT gmail DOT com) and I'll consider making an exception to that rule.
