With the world being basically on hiatus, I finally got the motivation to get through a particular set of old photos that I meant to post for almost seven years. Yes, I am ashamed it took so long.
In June 2013, as part of my first multi-day motorcycle tour, we visited the Fahrzeugmuseum Marxzell (lit.: Vehicles Museum Marxzell) at the tiny town of, you guessed it, Marxzell, half an hour south of Karlsruhe in the south-west of Germany. The museum is privately run, cheap to enter and, most importantly, while small absolutely packed with all kinds of old cars. It does not focus on the especially glamourous cars - most of the stuff comes from the 50s and 60s, I think - and the presentation sometimes gives the impression of the owner being more of a hoarder than a collector.
Sadly, with most pictures I have absolutely no clue what the vehicle in question is. So I'm just dumping the photos without further comment and in order of shooting - representing the chaotic principle of just placing the objects where there was space that the museum apparently followed.
One thing I'll say though - this is definitely a worthy stop for any future roadtrips that happen to go through that corner of Germany. I'd love to visit it again with some of the walking encyclopedias of car knowledge we have among our ranks.
The whole album be viewed here. Here's part of it:
