olyslager foundation

[nuyt]

Hello,

I have some pretty stupid questions here:

As a relative newcomer to the world of military vehicle enthousiasts I have recently acquired several second hand and out of print books that happen to be a goldmine of information to me.

Several books by Bart Vanderveen are among these.

Yesterday I bought in an Antwerp second hand store a Vanderveen book on US passenger cars in the 30s. The book was published by the Olyslager Foundation.

I was wondering if some one could tell me more about that foundation? Was its only purpose studying old vehicles? Does it still exist? What was the relation with Wheels and Tracks magazine? Were both Mr Vanderveen and Olyslager Dutchmen?

The thing is they did a wonderfull job publishing all those books that I have started collecting now.

I know Mr Vanderveen passed away some years ago and I know several among you know him well. If someone thinks these are impertinent or stupid questions I apologize...I am just trying to fill some gaps historiography-wise. I guess there may be others of the younger generations or of those to come that would like to know more about the backgrounds of these brilliant and authoritative publications.

Kind regards,
Nuyt
