 |
|
OK !! . . . I received these two German GEOBRA coin banks, 1950s era, from my
good friend, Rick Search, with the idea to create a pair of special 1943 KdF Wagen
Savers Banks from the historical KdF Wagen era. One for Rick and one for myself !!
So, another project recently completed out of the Restor-Version shop !!
Check it out !! . . . . BoB

OK !! so you wrote: "WoW, 100km/s that is really fast !!"
. . . the graphics shown is in the German language !
The 100 Km/s is an abbreviation for 100 Kilometers/stunde
The overall English conversion and translation is equivalent to:
4th-gear . . . 60 miles per hour !!

Nope, in German we use km/h for Kilometer durch Stunde
"s" is the abbreviation for Sekunde = second
And so we did 1940.
It could be written km/St but that was not common
100 km/s = 360000 km/h and that is REALLY fast! |

Jo.R . . . you are absolutely correct as you can see the very strong wind
blowing past the KdF Wagen at 360000 km/h in the photo

OK, check out this old rusty metal sign from 1939 that was found in a local
"Barn Find" here in Goodyear, Arizona . . . . if you would believe that
