Umzug Tarz Speedster Gents Barn

Am letzten Tag im Mai haben wir uns vom schönen Schloss Möhler verabschiedet und sind nun bis Ende August dabei, unser komplettes Mobiliar und Inventar (mit Kiel und ohne) umzuziehen. Ende August kommt dann der letzte Kraftakt mit fünf großen Transportern – aber das Ziel immer vor Augen. Ein toller, neuer Ort mit ganz viel Möglichkeiten, eine wunderschöne neue Landschaft zu erfahren und mit vielen neuen Kunden in Kontakt zu kommen. Wir freuen uns darauf! Bleibt uns treu und bis auf bald! Euer Gents Barn-Team PS: Und falls Ihr uns ab und zu auf der Autobahn mit einem schönen Oldtimer auf dem Trailer sieht – dann winkt ruhig mal zu! 🙂

Our Woodie – now a star in the US as well!

Chrysler Woodie

With the title “Double Woodie time in Germany,” our beautiful Chrysler Town & Country 2-door Newport Coupe (yes, that’s actually the official name of this vehicle in 1950!) was featured in the latest issue of the American Woodie Club (NWC) magazine – the NWC being the largest club for all wood-paneled vintage cars in the United States and worldwide. Of course we were extremely happy about this great article and the feedback from the club members was very positive. Many thanks to the editors of the NWC magazine and greetings across the great pond. Let’s hope for more Woodie friends here in Europe. The team of Gents Barn likes to work on this beautiful goal for sure!

Gents Barn at Techno Classica Essen

By

RM Sotheby Gents BarnToday was officially the first day of the Techno Classica Essen and, of course, Gents Barn was also there, maintained the network and received the latest information on the classic car market – first forecast: The vintage car industry is doing amazingly well, all the halls were packed and customers are ready to pay a fair price for good quality. Many cars had already changed hands on the preview day as well as today, especially in the Youngtimer (1980s and up) segment. Finally, thanks to a friendly invitation from the management, we were able to attend the local RM Sotheby’s auction – again, the high quality cars quickly changed hands. We are curious how the next days will be, but it was a good start to the season. See you soon – here at Gents Barn.

Gar Wood Speedster in the spot light

After more than 16 months of restoration and reconstruction, our legendary Gar Wood Speedster “Miss Persia” was once again a gem at a boat show, this time the 50th edition of Boot Düsseldorf, the world’s largest trade fair for boats and water sports. Almost 83 years after our Speedster was Gar Wood’s show boat at North America’s premier trade show of the Thirties, the Chicago Boat Show of 1936, we can once again presented the new hull and beautiful deck structure – along with some of the original chrome attachments – to the more than interested crowd. A true jewel and a shining example of a 100% faithful reconstruction and restoration. Thanks for visiting us and our trusted shipyard!

Miss Persia at the Boot Düsseldorf

By

Gar Wood Miss Persia Boot Düsseldorf

Right at the beginning of this year, we got some great news – Boot Düsseldorf is giving our legendary and unique Miss Persia, the only Gar Wood Speedster produced in 1936 and the former boat of the Shah of Iran, a special place at its anniversary fair, the 50th edition of this world leading trade fair for boats and water sports!

Almost exactly 83 years after its first exhibition at the 1936 Chicago Boat Show, Miss Persia is now – although not yet completely assembled, but with dozens of layers of fresh varnish – for the second time at one of the world’s largest boat fairs, what an honor.

So if you’ve ever wanted to see the resurrection of the Miss Persia up close, you can do so now – in the “classic boat” hall 5, booth B02, both our Miss Persia and our future replacement engine, the Packard 1M-245, will be featured throughout the fair. Of course, we are very happy about this great sign from the fair organizers and thank them in advance.

If you would like to get to know the proud owner and Gents Barn founder in person, you can meet him on the first day of the fair, January 19th.

See you soon – at Boot Düsseldorf, open from 19.-27. January 2019.

It’s been a real pleasure opening the mail today! Brooke Hartle, librarian at the Antique Boat Museum, was so kind to send us a copy of the latest Gazette, ABM’s own news magazine – and seeing our great little story from Miss Persia in it. What a nice way of celebrating the first advent. Have a joyful pre-Christmas time everyone.
