Sisu S-322D "Dallape" Bus 1933
Photographed 8th of June at Helsinki. The story of the bus in one of the photos is unfortunately only in Finnish but I will try to translate it in near future. Remind me if the translation does not appear in here. The story is from Classic Motorshow at Lahti where this bus was on show.
EDIT: Note the number of doors on a right hand side.
The text in the photo: This bus was manufactured by "Oy Suomen Autoteollisuus Ab" in 1933. This bus was meant to be used in charter travels to southern Europe. Any how it was returned to the manufacturer in very same year because of financial difficulties of the travel agency. Matti Jäppilä, the founder of the dance orchestra-Dallape heard about the bus and bought the bus from the manufacturer on Apr. 4. 1934. The orchestra used the bus on it's rounds during the years 1934 - 1939. Usually couple, two or so, rounds per year. On 1970 the bus was owned by the Automobile Club of Helsinki by the first time. After that the bus was owned by the Svartvik Automobile Museum and after that, on 1980, it was again moved to Automobile Club of Helsinki and the bus was restored by this club. The restoring finished on winter 1985.

American LaFrance in Helsinki
And Here's the number one (in my opinion) of the last Friday Cruise in Helsinki.
If anyone has any information of this car I'm very happy to receive it. I had no idea that there was something like this in Finland.

Chevrolet 3100
We are still in Helsinki Cruise at Helsinki Market Place last Friday. Nice step side Chevy.
Ford Taunus GXL Coupe 1,6
And this is beauty! If I understood right, this car is recently imported from France. As I have told before, I have owned this type of Taunus with 2,6 liter V6 engine. This car has 1,6 liter 4 cylinder engine (if you can count the label) but isn't it looking good. Photographed at Helsinki Cruise.
EDIT 04.May.2014. Yesterday this car was at Lahti Classic Motorshow among the few other Taunus.

Ford Cortina
Outside this Cortina looks quite original but when you look inside (sorry the window reflection) it tells you something else.
