Carl’s Cars

Carl's Cars is a "magazine about people," but hey, aren't they all? What makes this Norwegian publication different is hard to nail down. Sure, there's a fashionable streak of one-upmanship about it--with winsome girls folding skinny legs into the crushed velour interiors of cars built before they were born--but mostly it's about small-scale fanaticism, with Nordic obsessions the most popular of all. That means lots of lovingly preserved Volvos, interviews transcribed into idiosyncratic English, and fondness for automotive Americana.
