I could live here: Villa Santo Sospir - The house Jean Cocteau lived in

Fiat 500 Ferves Ranger

I never heard of and never saw the Fiat 500 Ferves Ranger. It looks cute! Circa 600 were made between 1967 and 1971. 50 are still around.

Business cards from the Chicago gangs

Did you know (you probably didn't) that the Chicago gangs had business cards back in the 1960s - 1990s? I didn't.

I love 'Masters in crime / Killers of slime'.

*Husqvarna ... from Sweden (old Dutch Husqvarna sowing machine commercial)*

The Husqvarna 256 Thage Motorcycle is a modern take on a rare service bike from the sixties. Including a pair of ski's. It's beautiful. I would like to have one (without the ski's).

Very nice.

"Moments in history, whether bigger or more intimate, are often recreated in film. This produces something that is transcending, powerful and nevertheless, haunting.
