Try: [from a posting by Gary Istok, I believe]
Old LEGO cars (wow, what a collection) from some Swedish collector, whose
name I do
not know. Click on "LEGOBILAR", and you can view about 100 different cars &
trucks. Also there are a lot of old trees, bushes, LEGO cyclists and the
rare
policemen set.

Another great website of old LEGO cars, trucks and other old items is by
Gerry
Cohen. His collection includes some of the rare boxes that the cars and
trucks
originally came in. Gerald's website also contains an example of the rare
(and
unique to Britain and their commonwealth countries that carried LEGO) ESSO
sign and
pumps (be sure to click on ACCESSORIES). They are shown with the more
common ESSO
examples used in USA/Canada and continental Europe.
