A yard in Switzerland

No doubt - this was the greatest

Autofriedhof Messerli

Of course everybody knows the Autofriedhof Gürbetal owned by Franz Messerli.
In 2008 the national art exhibition of Switzerland took place here.
After a long struggle with stupid bureaucracy over many years it was finally cleared in autumn 2009 There was a great auction with all the cars and more than 500 were sold. The others were destroyed.

Millions of photos from the last 3 years of existence could be found on the net. Here you got an impression how it looked back in 1994 when I first visited.

Thank you, Franz, for preserving this over 35 years and shame on the idiots who finally destroyed it !
