Antique Vehicle Club „Klasika” Calendar 2014

Category:Events,Events 2013

Before Christmas, as it was last year, the antique vehicles club “Klasika” released the club calendar with images of antique technique. In 2013 calendar pages, we presented the most interesting pictures of historic cars owned by club members. This year, we have thought for a long time how to surprise and how to meet the year 2014. What to show? Cars? Again? And maybe, try to look at the club’s events and people involved in them? Maybe, look for the heart and the eye lovely artistic images?
So, after long discussions and quite a lot of preparation for the producing of “Klasika” club calendar 2014, we chose two photos themes:
1) The images of the antique vehicles club “Klasika” organised parades and exhibitions;
2) Who or What is decorating? Are girls (women) as accessories to antique vehicles, or vice versa?
We believe that the answers to these questions can be found in our new, still smelling of printer’s ink “Klasika” calendar.

Category:Events,Events 2013,Articles

For the eighth time the Latvian capital hosted the annual historic car exhibition “Riga Retro 2013”. This year it was sacred to the memory of Viktors Kulbergs (1948-2013) who was a long-lived director of Latvian Antique Automobile Club (AAK) and the founder of Riga Motormuseum. Every year this event changes: from preparation to demonstration of trucks, motorcycles and various antique technical in one year to only a car exhibition for the second year. This year, on August 17, the event that took place was not similar to those already held. Due solely to the fact that not everyone was able to register to the event, but only those invited by an authoritative organisers’ commission from Riga Motormuseum and Latvia Antique Automobile Club (AAK). Such a decision adopted by the organizers to show Riga townspeople and their guests the rarer and more diverse vehicles, and to prevent them from popular, in large series and still produced, everyday used car dominance.

Cars of the Club: 1927 Erskine Model 50 Touring

Category:Garage,Library,Articles Tags : 

The Erskine was an American automobile brand produced by the Studebaker Corporation of South Bend, Indiana, USA, from 1926 to 1930. The marque was named after Albert Russel Erskine (1871–1933), Studebaker’s president at the time. During his term as president, Erskine encouraged Studebaker engineers to develop advanced engines. As a result, the company achieved numerous racing wins and a bigger share of the upper-price market. This left Studebaker without an entry level automobile in the United States, and Erskine, who had always been fascinated by smaller European vehicles, saw market potential in a short-wheel-base compact car, especially if it could expand Studebaker’s presence in the European market.
