Fleek Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I had a Renault Dauphine like that 57 in sky blue while going to high school. Traded my 55 Chevy pickup for it because I had a paper route that covered a big part of town and it got great mileage. Great little car that never let me down. Brings back some great memories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I wouldn't look to necessarily see Peugeot-branded cars sold here. Could be more platform sharing like the Buick Cascada being essentially an Opel design. Possibly Citroen as the electric car brand, but that's just speculation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Such a wonderful display of historic automobiles! A bunch more to really enjoy. Thank you for the additional pictures of the '14 Renault (so missed by a couple years?). And I particularly like the 1903 De Dion Bouton. The 1916 and 1928 Renault cars were wonderful, and I liked seeing so many early Citroen automobiles also. Again, thank you for sharing these here. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8E45E Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 That is a very well-done display and presentation. It looks 'permanent', like a museum display; not only for a week or however long it is.

Craig Yes indeed it took a lot of work. We must already calculate how to dispose of these 71 cars in a room, put the banners, print the presentation sheet for each car, make a staging with manequins, stored each vehicle by category / year / mark.You must also make leaflets, ask the town hall, ...

Dave Henderson Posted November 7, 2019 Share Posted November 7, 2019 My '59 Peugeot 403, quirky as it was, was very dear to me. I remember the light switch which was on a stalk, positioned where the turn signal arm is on domestic cars. That resulted too many times in accidentally shutting off the lights when preparing to make a turn. And the little brass part of the clutch linkage which gave way without warning, leaving me clutchless in downtown D. C. The aluminum pop rivets holding the headlights in, which eroded away and caused the headlight to pop out, and so on. It was also hell on heads (hemi), I used up 3 because they cracked between the valve seats and the spark plug hole. That once caused a surprise popping out of a spark plug, leaving a dent in the hood. And rust? You bet. I held the underside of its unit body together with angle iron until it became hopeless. But despite it all I got 175 thousand miles out of the 403, loving it because it had a certain charm. Great looks, reputedly a P. Farina design, rack and pinion steering making it the best handling car I've ever had, and the overdrive 4th gear and the sun roof were favorite features. The front seat backs reclined all the way down, I slept in it at Hershey when you could park on Hershey Park Drive a number of times. Sadly, the tin worm won out causing its demise. Shown is what is left. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8E45E Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 (edited) In the 1960's I had a scale model of a 1953 Ford Vedette fordor sedan. (The one that looked like a scaled down '49 Merc.). It was an orange-tan color close to that Rambler wagon in the photo a couple of posts above. I have no idea what became of it, but I believe it was made in France. Today, I have some Citroen and Peugeot models by Vitesse. Craig Edited February 25, 2020 by 8E45E (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I did learn at an early age with Matchbox and Corgi models as I also had the free catalogs of their product line at the time. I knew the difference between a 'saloon', an 'estate' and a 'fixed-head coupe'. And some of these scale models from England had an 'opening bonnet' and/or 'opening boot', and a 'sunshine roof'.
