Buick is a car made by the Presidency of the Republic of Indonesia, which first used in the period after the proclamation of Indonesian independence. Service vehicles used as the first President Soekarno, especially in the struggle to maintain the independence of Indonesia between 1945 to 1949.
The story of this car into the presidential car is quite interesting. This car was discovered in 1945 in the back office of the Ministry of Transportation of the Japanese Occupation Period (now the office of Directorate General of Sea Transportation, Jalan Merdeka Timur, Jakarta) by Sudiro, chairman of the Barisan Banteng. He himself understands that Buick-8 was not just any car, it is said that car is best car in Jakarta at the time. People of Indonesian independence fighters are then approached the driver and persuaded him to go home to his village in Kebumen, asking for key and present it to President Sukarno, as the vehicle they were deemed worthy of his service as President with a number-one Rep police.
This car, the model still looked dignified and impressive though decades old. There is a sheet of glass that separates the passenger with a driver that can be opened with a lever that rotated.

1942 DeSoto
DeSoto automobile output in 1942 was used Vice President of Indonesia, Mohammad Hatta. Unlike the Buick-8 which is the result of the findings in the road, the car was a gift from Djohor Djohan businessman, successful businessmen in Jakarta that time in order to help mobilize the struggle to avoid confiscation of the party besides the Japanese Occupation in Indonesia. This is a used car Mohammad Hatta in performing his job as Vice President, both in Jakarta and Yogyakarta. This car had changed hands and the owner used as public transport (oplet). But subsequently repurchased by Mohammad Hatta, and restored again with the help of businessman Hashim Ning. That's why the police numbered car-2 Rep, which has been using an automatic transmission conditions are not as good as the Buick-8-1 Rep that. On this car, like the Buick-8, there is a glass partition separating the driver with his passengers. Unlike the Buick-8 that can still be used, DeSoto car is unusable.

VOLVO Indonesian ministers as official car

1974, the Indonesian government set a Volvo 264 series as the official car of the ministers. This policy gives special status to the car known as the world's safest cars. In fact, in its further development, Volvo executives are categorized as cars, because it is used as an official car to pick up guests state, official car of high institutions and the highest leadership of the country, as well as head of the company car. Since then, each time a change of cabinet, Volvo's latest series continues to be selected as the official car of the ministers, like the Volvo 740, Volvo 960, Volvo S90 and final. These conditions make the PT Central Sole Agency that includes Volvo in Indonesia did not bother to sell Volvo cars in Indonesia. However, during the reign of President Megawati Sukarnoputri, it was decided to use the Toyota Camry as official car of the ministers. Government's decision to replace the Volvo with the Toyota Camry was making PT Central Sole Agency dither, because all of a sudden loss of the segment that has been the traditional markets, namely the executive car segment. Cap as car executives aged 50 years and older was a very big impact. Changing market segmentation to enter into an annual 30-40 young executive, it takes a long time. Working on board the fullsize sedan segment too, have very many competitors, ranging from the Audi A8, BMW Serie 7, Jaguar XJ8, Lexus LS 460, until the S-Class Mercedes Benz. Volvo Cars of output is actually good cars and good quality, no less than the cars of other boards. However, the government policy changes that make a Volvo like forgotten. Moreover, when a new government formed on October 22, 2009, it was decided to replace the ministers with official cars Toyota Crown Royal Saloon, a class one level above the Toyota Camry.

DATSUN

Poto picture is a photo of Prince Chichibe, brother of Emperor Hirohito on December 30, 1934. He is shown sitting in a Datsun 1934 production at the Industrial Association of Japan in Yokohama.
"This is a challenge for manufacturers in Japan, to be able to make a small car with a lower selling price than the price of American cars, to be marketed in India, Czechoslovakia, the Straits Settlement and the United Kingdom with plans assembly plant in Australia. The car in question is the Datsun ".
Datsun is one of Japan's automobile manufacturers successful mass-produce cars. This car is Nissan's production company, which has been officially received the name "DAT Motor Company" in the early 1930s and still retain the original name of this.
Datsun have proved that Japan can manufacture the machines in a large scale in a very fast time. This is directly correlated with the strength of Japan in terms of mass production during World War II. Nissan company would later become an important part of the Japanese war machine that produces a lot of military trucks.

SCOOTER

Piaggio was founded in tahun1884 in Italy by Rinaldo Piaggio. In the beginning, Piaggio is the manufacturer that produces equipment ships, railways and railway carriages. At the time of the First World War raged, Piaggio produces aircraft. At the end of World War II, Piaggio factory in bombs by allied aircraft. After the war, Enrico Piaggio Piaggio took over from his father (Rinaldo Piaggio). At that time the Italian economy was deteriorating, Enrico decided to design a cheap means of transportation Assisted by experts Corradino D'Ascanio aircraft, Enrico create a two-wheeled transportation device designed with inspiration and technology from the aircraft. Monoshock suspension construction for easy adaptation to change a tire from the wheel of the aircraft, its first product even really use the front wheel of the aircraft. Starter is made from the bomb components, as well as bodinya body is made of aircraft aluminum. According to various sources, the Vespa was first produced in 1945. The word "Vespa" is derived from the word "Wesp" which means "beast wasp or bee." Indeed Vespa construction when viewed from above looks like a bee. During its development, the Vespa is not only marketed in Italy, France, England, Germany, Spain, Brazil and India. Because consumer interest is so large, the Vespa is also in prosuksi in Germany and England. In addition to the Vespa, was also born during the two-wheeled vehicles of different brands of this type, such as Lambreta, Zundap, Heinkel, NSU, Hummel. But that until now existed in Indonesia is followed by Vespa and Lambretta Vespa history in Indonesia In fact the author himself did not know exactly when it was first Vespa into Indonesia. Trying to find a reference to some speakers did not produce concrete results. Each speaker has a different explanation, but they have a common perception that "Vespa Fever" in the ground water is influenced by the "Vespa Congo." Vespa is given as an award by the Government of Indonesia against Indonesian Peacekeeping Force who served in the Congo at that time. According to several sources, after much wandering in the streets of Congo Vespa, the Vespa began to become one of the options in the Indonesian two-wheeler. Local importers also support the development of the Vespa in the homeland. Until now has dozens of variants Vespa who stopped in Indonesia. From the oldest to the most recent was in Indonesia. Even my friend from the Philippines said that Indonesia is a paradise Vespa. Until now, this may still be called a paradise Vespa. The rise of exports Vespa, Vespa somewhat reduced the population in Indonesia.
History of Vespa Congo
As we both know, the war that raged in the African continent in the decades of 1960? An irrational impact on the popularity of the Vespa, especially in this beloved homeland. As part of the Indonesian people caring for world peace, then after the expiration of the Congo War (the country changed its name several times, Congo, Zaire, Congo), dated July 31, 1960 ouster of the Republic of Indonesia to the United Nations sent troops to become part of a peacekeeping force in Congo State. Being a high concern for peace on earth, Indonesia has sent his best troops to the Congo with a password Garuda Indonesian troops through several landings.



After duty as peacekeepers completed, Garuda Indonesian troops receive sign recognition from the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, where one of them a Vespa (from several sources said that in granting that there is also a form of money, and some sewing needles crate). Vespa has indeed seen here binding on us (the scooteris) with our nation in the international arena, although never written in gold ink history of this republic.
Interesting that the award be listened Vespa is also not free from tradition in the paramilitary world. Some sources say that for the green Vespa 150 cc of soldiers who aimed for a higher rank level, while the yellow and blue 125 cc for the lower rank levels. In addition to complete identity of Vespa Pin a sign referred to also in the number of soldiers is concerned, on the left handlebar (handlebar) oval-shaped material made of brass and an award plaque that accompanies it.
After that, then in those years with the title ramailah Vespa Vespa Congo milling in the streets, which adds a new Vespa scooter type had previously been present. This condition was also a positive impact on sales of Vespa in the homeland at that time. Vespa Congo who have been rounded to contribute in the form of free advertising for Vespa importer in Indonesia. This then lead to the development of such a stigma here that the Vespa who shaped it? Vespa Congo.
So do not be surprised if the current generation before we call round with the title Vespa Vespa Congo, although the Vespa is a Vespa is the real output in 1962 or 1965 Vespa output example (this is never the author experienced when asking someone who is old enough and being together vespanya He said this is the Vespa Congo?, yes? never mind).
Along with the passage of time will begin an evolution of the Vespa Congo extinction in the ground water occurs. Many reasons that make it happen, as he had sold the Vespa referred to by its original owner, or there are some parts of the severely damaged so it is very difficult to repair. This is the limited number of these species caused Vespa is also very significant presence with a number of our troops are receiving. Although the author never met Vespa type that does not belong forces Garuda Indonesia (Vespa also seemed to have these types of entry into Indonesia through the importer of Vespa that time), but still will supply spare parts and other things that accompany it, such as front or Speedo spakbor the meter is minimal available. Not so with other types of Vespa is still produced, although many by local production houses.
With the above conditions, the Vespa Congo began to enter the list as one of The Most Wanted Vespa in Indonesia, which is used as a mount scooteris as well as collectables for collectors Vespa.
Sibling Vespa Congo
One of the unique Vespa Vespa Congo is not the type manufactured by Italy but by Germany. With raw material steel plate is louder than the generally rounded Vespa, Vespa Congo has a completeness level greater than the Vespa made in Italy are generally distributed in Indonesia (VBB1T or VBB2T). Vespa scooter Congo is evidence of penetration of Italy products that swept the world. To be able to know this can be started from Vespa developments in Germany.
Jacob Oswald Hoffmann is the owner of a bicycle factory in Lintorf, a city located in the North Dusseldorf. He built his own factory to buy a parcel of land upon which had stood for a former factory building hoe / hoe after the end of the war. Once upon a time in early 1949 he found some photos vespa journalists shots above his desk. From here there are fundamental differences, and Hoffman find out more about the object image.
The opportunity came when at the Frankfurt Show, where Hoffmann and Vespa met for the first time. From there then Hoffmann Vespa eager to build factories in Lintorf. He later submitted to the Piaggio Vespa for granted license to build the market for Germany.
Piaggio Hoffmann strongly supports the request. They then saw firsthand likely Vespa market in Germany and found acceptable by the market Vespa Germany. The next step is to them an approach to some importers, but the importers are not interested. The delay is minimized by accelerating the signing of cooperation agreements between the two, and start Hoffmann as the main license for owners of Vespa products for all of West Germany was also partly Vespa market in the northern part of the country and are entitled to export to the Netherlands, Belgium, and Danish. Sales responsibility for the southern area of the state is handled by Vespa Marketing GmbH in Frankfurt.
Vespa quickly proved popular in Germany, the news media picked it up as a product of innovative and stylis and praising the ciptaanya Piaggio two-wheeled form of transport vehicles are very interesting. 1953, Hoffmann factory has produced more than 400 units per week Vespa. But entering the following years the production rate decreased by half. In Germany the economic conditions are unfavorable, Hoffmann believes that the solution remains on track with the competition and he created the Vespa with a better performance.
Then he created the Vespa with the title Konigin model that looks stout with the added touch of chromm and headlights and so forth. Konigin development costs are very expensive, and endanger the financial condition of Hoffmann. Manufacture of new types of other scooter made by Piaggio cooperation between Hoffmann lost, entered the partnership in early 1955 they disbanded.
Piaggio and then build a relationship with Messerschmitt Co., Which then issued the production of the first Vespa in 1955. They brought out two models: GS 150 Touren and which claimed more powerful. They also provide after sales and service and spare parts for Vespa Hoffmann production. This cooperation continued until the end of 1957.
After that stand Vespa Augsburg GmbH, a joint venture between Piaggio and Martial Fane Organisation, this joint venture and then also provide some parts for Vespa Messerschmitt. Both models are made when kongsian with Messerschmitt (150 Touren and GS) and then developed with some modifications. In addition it also gave birth to Augsburg GmbH Vespa 125 cc Vespa first introduced in 1958. Production continued until 1963, which represents the peak of the scooter and production changes that are not too many. In Germany it goes and then import directly from Italy's Vespa.
From the above description sibling Vespa Congo where we really are? There are several noteworthy thing here is, first of the year between Piaggio cooperation with several companies in Germany and two from the side of the year and production numbers that accompany the Vespa Congo itself. From the author of several Vespa penulusuran Congo who are based in BPKB output in 1958 is the year until 1963, this highly synchronous when associated with the completion of the task force when a Garuda Indonesian peacekeepers in Congo. For this period, the cooperation between Piaggio with Hoffmann does not count. This is due kongsian both disbanded in 1955 and rose-shaped product of the cooperation model of a Vespa with a bicycle handlebar and using Fender Light. The second partnership in Germany with Messerschmitt Piaggio. From this collaboration came out Vespa GS products are often called in Indonesia, Germany and GS 150 Touren version which is the origin of our Congo Vespa, but kongsian too did not last long because in the year 1957. they broke up. However, the development of GS and 150 Touren continues, when Piaggio cooperation with Fane Martial Organization by establishing Vespa Augsburg GmbH 1958, the collaboration is then born of what we call a Vespa Congo.
