(August 1, 2007 - Lebanon, Tennessee)  Klaus Sorensen and his wife, Doris, live in Ringsted, Denmark, close to their son, Mikkel and daughter, Gitte.  Being a normal guy, Klaus has been interested in cars, especially American made, for as long as he can remember.  Eventually he found himself in the position to own a 1966 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible.  Earlier this year while surfing the Internet, Klaus found a beautiful red 1965 Mustang Fastback for sale at the Lebanon, Tennessee based Classic Cars Southeast showroom, approximately 30 miles east of Nashville.  He really wanted the Fastback so he sold his Eldorado to purchase it.  An added benefit to this deal is that spare parts are easier to obtain for Ford products in Denmark, making it possible for Klaus to do most maintenance and repair work himself.  He is extremely happy with his purchase and it is common for him to be seen cruising around the beautiful Denmark countryside in his equally beautiful "American made" Mustang Fastback.

The new Mustang seems to fit in quite nicely at the Sorensen family home, in a rural setting of Ringsted, Denmark.  When asked what his wife, Doris, thinks about his automotive hobby, Klaus is quick to respond, "she sometimes thinks I am crazy, but she puts up with me and still loves me".  Klaus has added some new decorative trim to the car's engine and he admits that there is almost as much enjoyment working on the Mustang as there is driving it.  "I appreciate the sound of a smooth engine and the rush of a real V8", says the classic enthusiast, "personally doing all of the work on my vehicle makes it more of an adventure and offers a greater satisfaction".

According to Klaus, there are about 10 American car clubs on the isle where he lives.  Throughout Denmark there are at least 30 American car clubs, the Danish Mustang Club has about 1200 members.  Many of his buddies are members of the "Buick Club of Denmark" and he often hangs out with them.  There are numerous qualified American automobile mechanics in Denmark, however, most owners there try to personally build or restore their autos with parts they buy directly from the US.  Klaus' son, Mikkel, has acquired the same attraction to the American classics as his dad.  Mikkel is the proud owner of a 1965 Chevrolet Impala, is just as involved in the American classic phenomenon and often attends club meetings with his dad.

Klaus also has a great appreciation for American country music and it is second only to his love of the classic cars, either could someday bring him to America.  He has been playing drums since the age of twelve, originally with a rock & roll beat.  However, in the late 1980's he fell in love with American country music and began playing it.  The "Nashville sound" was very popular in Denmark, so in 1999 Klaus and a friend, Tommy Stolarczyk, began playing the music in their hometown of Ringsted.  The two heard Dorthe Diness singing at a local cafe' and both agreed that she was the missing link for an absolutely great American country band.

Soon after being asked, Dorthe accepted the invitation to join the guys as a member of their band.  "Dorthe has been a great asset to our efforts", said Klaus, "in addition to being the lead singer, she is also responsible for the lyrics and music composition."  Klaus - an IT technician (vocals & drums), Dorthe - a school teacher (vocals, guitar & piano) and Tommy - a retired employee of the local road construction authority (vocals bass & harmonica) are the components of a great sounding band, "Lily's Voice".  The trio has one goal in mind; that is to just have fun with their music.

To purchase a CD or gather additional information on the band check out their website at www.lilysvoice.dk.  Additional information on Classic Cars Southeast can also be found on the Internet at www.classiccarsse.com.

 

 

Klaus takes a break, from cruising in his newly acquired Mustang, at the

historical  "Bjernede Church", a famous landmark approximately 5 miles

 from his home and about 40 miles from Copenhagen.  The structure, built in 1170,

 is the only round church left on the ensel sealand where Klaus lives.  During the

 years 1000 to 1300, such round structures were built for the combined purposes of

basic function and as a security fortress.  There are only 7 of these round buildings

remaining throughout the country of Denmark.

 

Klaus has never had the opportunity to visit America, however,

he dreams of someday visiting the country where all of his favorite

 classic vehicles were manufactured.  He likes the 60's style autos

 and is very excited about his new purchase.  Friends and neighbors

are likely to see him cruising in it or working on it most any time.

 “The classic lines of the Mustang is what I like most about my new auto",

 admits Klaus, "they are the greatest attraction and that's why

 I wanted this exact car."

 

Klaus, (left) with his friends Dorthe and Tommy, make up Denmark’s country

music band "Lily's Voice".  The group released a CD in 2004, which was well

received by radio stations and fans in that country.  Due to Klaus' recent

association with friends at Classic Cars Southeast in Lebanon, Tennessee, the

 trio's music has also received play on radio stations in the Tennessee regions

 of Knoxville and Nashville (Music City).
