Beauties At Dharmasthala

PAVAN KADAM · 19th January 2008, 16:16

One holy trip to Dharmasthala made me see these beauties.

Happy that i saw them, but some of them are on horses,

whats the point in caging them.

They are supposed to be on the road.

Anyways feast you eyes.(Sorry for Average Pics)

My heart cries out to these Skoda, Plymouth and some more beauties lying idle there.

OMG ! Where are all these lying in dharmasthala Pavan? Cool pics and such classics are vintage and nice captures.

PAVAN KADAM · 19th January 2008, 16:28

Here are some more pics- They are from my Mobile phone camera.

My Lovely Bug sitting so idle amongst all those lots.

This one's a rare early model OVAL window bug with single eshaust (Pre-50's)

What a lovely Rolls Royce. Wonder what's it doing there.

This one's a Fiat belonging to the Fire Brigade. Whoa...

Cool Merc..

Thats it for now folks..

Have a great week end.

Yes each and single every piece worth ........(No words) lying IDLE at Dharmasthala Meuseum.

Rest In Peace all ye Automobiles.

VJ_MAVRICK · 19th January 2008, 16:33

Goos ones dude and surely these are classics and i liked the rolls royce in particular truly majestic

Thats a small portion of a great collection. Most of them are in pretty good shape and running. You cant expect all cars to be driven regularly, it isnt practical.

I was always wondering who this Beetle belonged to...glad i finally found it. The Oval was introduced in mid 53, and the double tip exhaust appeared in 56. So the car is a 53/4/5, with an 80s Mumbai registration.

PAVAN KADAM · 19th January 2008, 16:40

Yes Karlos

I agree that these cant be driven daily.

But ..........

Anyways will not comment on this.

They are ageing lying there, Something must be done for their upkeep.

Hey buddy PAVAN KADAM,

Its illegal to photograph inside the museum.
BTW all the cars are well maintained.
Its a Vintage Car Museum (museum - depository for collecting and displaying objects having scientific or historical or artistic value)
Where do you want to drive these?

Cyrus43 · 19th January 2008, 17:03

Cyrus43 · 19th January 2008, 17:07

i wonder what the spirit of ecstacy is looking at?

Stanher · 19th January 2008, 17:26

Lovely cars!
Btw, in which state exactly is this place Dharmasthala? It sounds like its in KA but nearly all the cars seem MH registered...

praJEEP · 19th January 2008, 17:33

Stanher its nearby to mangalore its 75kms from bangalore its 300kms. most of the cars seen here are donated to veerendra hegde the god father of dharmasthala.

nitrous · 19th January 2008, 17:34

That 50's beetle has no engine inside.
Im telling this by the camber of its rear wheels.
Anyone confirm this?

diabloo · 19th January 2008, 17:34

Dharmastala is in Karnataka. 'Karnataka State' was called 'Mysore State' and hence the registration starts with 'M'.

How to reach: Welcome to Dharmastala
