[/p] These vintage rigs from the 30's to the 70's are either in amazing original condition, or have been carefully restored. They're pretty interesting. Most models are from Dutch and Belgian brands, including Mustaerts (aka Mutsy] and Koelstra [who once announced a retro-style stroller, the K73, sort of the New Beetle of strollers.
