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!

Gar Wood Speedster in the spot light

Gar Wood Speedster Miss Persia 1936

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!

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.

Our Christmas gifts – for you and us!

By

There are only about four weeks until Christmas and one or the other is already looking for a nice gift for his loved ones – we recommend of course a visit to our showroom: Whether antique, high-gloss fire extinguishers from the 30s to 50s, the latest fashion by Holebrook Sweden, fascinating reading material by Delius Klasing or all-natural perfume by April Aromatics, we always have the right idea for you! The most beautiful present for us is currently being created in one of the best restoration workshops for mahogany boats in Germany! Look forward to the resurrection of Miss Persia – the Gar Wood Speedster delivered to the Shah of Persia in 1936. No matter which gift you choose, we wish our customers and interested parties a wonderful Advent season – see you soon, here at beautiful Möhler Castle.

Holebrook Sweden – the Fall/Winter collection has arrived!

Holebrook Sweden Fall Winter 2018 – Gents Barn

All friends of Scandinavian fashion should visit our store these coming Saturdays – the new Fall / Winter collection 2018 has arrived! Wonderful colours such as “Oak Melange” or “Sand Melange” set the scene for the colder days and if – after a very long, hot summer – it gets really freezing outside, the popular Holebrook knee socks will come right handy – the so-called “snowflake socks” speak for themselves. So, see you soon in our Holebrook-corners for Ladies and Gents here at Ladies Cottage & Gents Barn.
