Along the Amsterdam canals: T 87 video
Dutch daily De Telegraaf in cooperation with the Autovisie magazin, phoned me last year if I would be interested to show a Tatra in their series “Uw Garage.” Due to mechanical problems, I had no car available and we decided to wait until this spring when I expected to have a car ready. I had two condtions: wheather had to be dry and the video had to be shot in Amsterdam along the canals. Mid May we reserved a whole day and here is the result. It was more or less announced by the Dutch Daily De Telegraaf on saturday, May 31, while a two page article appeared in the Autovisie Magazin of June 5th.

THIS THING OF THE PAST IS A CONTRIBUTION TO THE WORLD
Watch video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Q8qVBaSTpmQ
by Petrolicious Productions / 8 Apr 2014

Rolling through the streets of Los Angeles in his 1941 Tatra T87, Mr. Paul Greenstein might as well be invisible. Other drivers speed past his Czech oddity without a second glance, seemingly oblivious to the car’s dorsal fin and triple headlights. But as Paul swings the Tatra into a parking space in front of a favorite local bistro, it’s as if he has brought the black teardrop to a stop in the middle of a Hollywood spotlight that immediately attracts the attention of every passerby. Here come the second glances, the puzzled questions. “What in the world is that?” “Is that a…a Citroen? A Volkswagen? An, uh….I mean, what is it?” That question–“What the hell is that?”–is one that visitors to Paul’s world frequently find themselves asking. His East Los Angeles shop is a celebration of all things old, vintage, and, by Paul’s own admission, weird: a Skoda Felicia convertible awaiting restoration, a half dozen Seeburg and Wurlitzer jukeboxes, and even, amidst a congregation of Indian and BMW motorcycles, a vintage coin-operated peep show. Somewhere in here, Paul finds enough space to make neon signs for a living. A short drive away is Paul’s house, a hilltop Victorian that Paul still locks up with the original skeleton key and that, not surprisingly, struggles to contain more of Paul’s curios. This is where he keeps the antique board games, the assorted Tatra memorabilia, even a pre-World War I Czech military uniform. With the jukeboxes rocking the shop, Paul relies on an Edison cylinder phonograph for music at home. Or, if he’s feeling lively, he can always pull from his own experience as the onetime leader of a local Western Swing band and belt out a Spade Cooley tune on his own. Paul is proof that what starts as a passion for vintage cars seldom stops at vintage cars. Automobiles, after all, are a collection of many disciplines and endeavors (metallurgy, communications, upholstery, mechanics, design and more) and the desire to enjoy, drive, fix, and learn about them tends to lead a person down a rabbit hole of fascination with bygone eras. Before knowing it, 78rpm records, 1920s furniture, and, classic cars have replaced their modern-day equivalents. Oh, and there is stream of people scratching their head, asking, “What the hell is that?” Editor’s note: Petrolicious has featured Tatras before and as the title alludes, this company and its founder had a tremendous impact on automotive history in general, think Volkswagen and Porsche.
