Chevroletul nemuritor / The Chevrolet that refuses to die

Multi dintre voi probabil cunoasteti siteul "vanatorii de epave", vanatoriideepave.3x.ro . Pozele de acolo, majoritatea facute in zona Craiovei acum peste zece ani, sunt de-a dreptul spectaculoase si arata ce fel de masini interesante existau chiar in provincie in acei ani. Chiar si antebelice. Bine inteles, majoritatea sunt fier vechi dar recent s-a redescoperit un Chevolet din 1937. Masina se gaseste de vanzare pe un site britanic. Dupa numarul de Oltenia nu a circulat dupa 1966, si vizibil conditia s-a deteriorat dupa anii 90 cand a fost fotografiata. Totusi, e bine ca a supravietuit si, cine stie, poate se va si restaura. In Romania mai sunt cel putin 5-6 Chevroleturi din 37-39, majoritatea in stare precara desi unu, in Tecuci (GL99POD), e restaurat intr-un mod destul de rudimentar.

Many readers may be aware of the "Wreck Hunters" website, vanatoriideepave.3x.ro . Most of the photos there were made in the Craiova region over ten years ago, and provide a fascinating snapshot of the spectacular vehicles existing in the Romanian provinces at that time - even pre-war vehicles. Unsurprisingly, most of the cars have disappeared, but recently, a 1937 Chevrolet was rediscovered on a British website. Jusging by the Oltenia plate it has not been driven since at least 1966, and the condition is visibly worse than when it was photographed in the mid 1990s. However, it has survived and may perhaps get a new lease of life. In Romania there are at least 5 or 6 other Chevrolets from the 37-39 generation, most in precarious condition but one, in Tecuci, restored, albeit rudimentarily.
