Reprezentanta Lincoln de pe Take Ionescu / The Bucharest Lincoln dealership

In perioada interbelica, pe bulevardul Tache Ionescu (actualmente Magheru) din Bucuresti se gaseau o mare parte din reprezentanele marcilor serioase. Una din cele mai ravnite era Lincoln, marca cea mai de elita a gamei Ford. Poza facuta de Willy Pragher in 1937 e relativ cunoscuta, celelalte nu. Oricum, e clar ca magazinul Lincoln, situat la intersecita Balcescu / Rosetti, era una din bijuteriile Bucurestiului art-deco. Ma intreba daca peste 70 de ani vor fi publicate poze cu dealerii de lux din Otopeni sau Baneasa...

In Thirties Bucharest, on Tache Ionescu Boulevard (now Magheru Boulevard) most of the main car showrooms could be found. One of the most luxurious of those was that of the top-of-the-range Fird-woned Lincoln. Willy Pragher's 1937 photograph is well-known, the others less so, but what is clear is that the Lincoln showroom, at the corner of Balcescu and Rosetti boulevards, was one of the jewels of art-deco Bucharest. I wonder if in seventy years' time people will be publishing photos of today's luxury showrooms in Otopeni or Baneasa...
