jeff_a Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) Every year, I enjoy seeing the photos of the great antique automobile tour held in the middle of February in The Ardennes region in Belgium. They are finally up on the Royal Veteran Car Club of Belgium website. If you are not French-speaking, or from Belgium, "Fagnes Hivernales" translates to "marshy area in winter" and is the name for a tour for WWII or earlier automobiles held by the RVCCB. Almost invariably, the weather is awful...usually a bit of snow...and the photographs are fantastic.Not for the feint of heart -- this year's participants were blasted by rain, sleet and snow. Autos I spot in the 100+ pictures are:1914, 1920, 1929, 1930, 1943 FORDS1913 STODDARD-DAYTON1930 DE SOTO1927 PACKARD1927 LAGONDA1929 HOTCHKISS1909 MINERVA1907 LORRAINE-DIETRICH1925 SUNBEAM1928 BUGATTITHEY ARE ON: "1927 Peerless 6-72" thread by "Peerless Belgium" here on the Peerless Forum, Post #4, click on the highlighted letters: rvccb, when the site comes up, click on: "FR" rather than NL (so you can read it in French instead of Dutch), and click on the event: "Fagnes Hivernales 2013".Or, go to the car club's site directly: www.rvccb.beOf particular interest are photographs of a '29 Model A Cabriolet(with the top down) and Twenties Fiats and Bugattis(no top whatsoever) driving through a snowstorm!
