My car next to the famous monument of the
"Sverd i fjell" (Sword in the rock) symbolizing the old
historical "Viking" battle in the year of 872 in the fjord "Hafersfjord"
where Norway was united to one Kingdom.
Hi, Welcome,
My name is Arild Kolnes, and I am the owner of this Cadillac
1958 convertible. This car is located in Sola, Norway. I bought the
car in 1995 as a restoration project. (I had a Buick 1958 at the time.)
The car was in bad shape, and there was a colony of ants in the driver’s
door. It was heavily rusted in the floors, rocker channels, and under mouldings
as well in the trunk. Interior was teared up,+++. It took me nine years
to get it back on the road (2004). Well,, I didn't restore every day, I
was from time to time pretty sick of it, but inspiration from magazines,
other American car enthusiasts, friends, and my wife has kept me ongoing
with the restoration. I'm glad it's done, and can take it for a ride when
I feel for it.
