vintage car exhibition and parts sale in France
dictator27 replied to sebastienbuick's topic in General Discussion
How about the Panhard Dynamic or the Tatra 603. Both very individualistic, incredible cars. -
vintage car exhibition and parts sale in France

Another Peugeot that was a leader in innovation was the 402 with the retractable roof introduced in 1938, 19 years before Ford brought their retractable. -
vintage car exhibition and parts sale in France
dictator27 replied to sebastienbuick's topic in General Discussion
I think it is obvious that the design of the Peugeot 202 and 302 was influenced by the Chrysler Airflow. Unlike the Airflow which met with strong sales resistance, the 202 in particular was enthusiastically accepted by the French motoring public, lasting until 1948. I think European car buyers were more willing to embrace cars which were unconventional in their design. -

How many people can remember the tv show Colombo starring Peter Falk? His car on the show was a Peugeot 403 decapotable (convertible). -
I guess that's why I don't see them here!

I'm leaning toward what arcticbuicks is saying. I wonder if that isn't a compression release?

They have a "damn the consequences" attitude and obviously are having a lot of fun doing it in any of the videos. -
WTB 1921 Studebaker oil pump drive shaft
dictator27 replied to studebaker1921's topic in Automobiles and Parts - Buy/Sell
I don't have a Special 6, but it doesn't look like a difficult piece for a machine shop to make, rather than looking for a part that is over 100 years old. -

Does anyone know anymore about the stolen James Bond DB5?
dictator27 replied to Angelfish's topic in General Discussion
The Bondmobile (or maybe one of the copies) was owned by flamboyant Vancouver restauranteur Frank Baker from 1969 to 1981. It was displayed in a glass cage outside his Attic restaurant at the corner of Marine Drive and Taylor Way in West Vancouver. -
1968 JAGUAR E-TYPE, SERIES 1.5 (Elmhurst IL)
dictator27 replied to f.f.jones's topic in "Not Mine" Automobiles For Sale
A friend of mine has been going to the same auto repair shop for decades for work on his north American made vehicles. He currently owns a 1992 Jaguar XJ6 because his wife likes it. That shop refuses to work on it, they won't even change the oil. -

Exactly. There is maintenance and then there is maintenance. What most North Americans call maintenance would be scoffed at in Europe. -
The Traveler name was applied not only to the Minor station wagon, but also to the Morris Oxford and the Austin Cambridge versions.

help ID this Packard - Staten Island Region AACA show, circa 1980
dictator27 replied to SIRAACA_Editor's topic in What is it?
Yup -
1959 was the first year for the curved windshield. The rear window was enlarged as well on the sedan. The first series Minors had a 918 cc 27.5 horsepower flathead inherited from the prewar Minor. Second series Minors had the 803 Cc ohv engine. The third series is the 1000. The Traveler was the station wagon.
