Norway Classic Cars Wanted

Norway classic cars wanted by collectors include the Troll. The Troll was the first real car designed by the Norwegians. Created during the years 1956-1958. Fiberglass, a form of plastic was utilized in mass production in America for the body of cars, but this technology had not spread to Europe. Norway wanted to be on the map as the first to use their technology.

Norway created cars for a brief time, starting with the Fossum and ending with the Troll. Today, most classic Norwegian cars are housed in the Norwegian Museum located in Lillehammer.

The Internet is the best way to gather information regarding the limited quantities of cars that were manufactured in Norway, unless of course you plan to travel to Norway yourself. Many of the cars were prototypes and never made it to mass production.

In the early nineties, Norway started production of the Nordic Think cars. These cars were electric battery powered cars. Their budget was less than the total amount anticipated to produce the Think cars, and by the end of the nineties, Nordic Think was in serious trouble. Ford, who renamed the project, Think City, acquired the Think line. After efforts to promote Think City, Ford decided to sell the line to Switzerland.

Norway may be innovative with their concepts and technology, but they don't have a successful history with mass production of cars. Your best bet for learning more about Norwegian cars and their histories is through the Norwegian Museum of Historic Vehicles. You can find more information online or by visiting the museum in person.
