The BL dealer where my grandfather worked, a/s Autocar, in 1972. This is the showroom, in the centre of Trondheim city. The workshop was 5 minutes away. In fact I've just discovered this photo, so first time I see what this place really looked like. Amazing. According to mum, my blue one was a demo car, and used to stand on a circulating floor here.
What a sight it would have been, to enter the city and see it standing there. It must have been the best spot for a showroom in the city. Just where you enter, coming over a bridge. Waiting at the traffic light, many would have been tempted to buy, looking at the cars in the showroom.
