sebastienbuick Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Hello everyone, last weekend I went for a vintage car ride 20 minutes from home. I went there with my brother in my 1978 Dodge Monaco police, and my godfather and my aunt came with their 1984 Renault 5 Alpine Turbo. The beginning began with an appointment in a parking lot in Montauban (town 20 minutes from my home) where a person who works in a car garage made us see on the cars that he was working. Sorry some photos are of poor quality Citroën traction Peugeot 203 Renault 4cv and Citroën Ami 8 Peugeot 403 Citroën 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks zipdang , I also think the 4cv are great little cars ! My grandpa had two at the time in the 50s / 60s (the first 4cv he had was the very first with the 6 chrome strips on the grille, it was black in color and with a rare option which is the convertible roof ) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne sheldon Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 A lot of wonderful cars! I love that 1915/1920 Renault. The two 1920s Citroens were nearly as impressive. I like early cars! Many others were very interesting. The petroliana collection was very impressive! Thank you for sharing these photos. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8E45E Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Awesome garage tour! Someone in France has a great collection of vintage service station signs and merchandizing items. I like seeing what the French market had to offer the motoring public at one time. Closest we can get to France in North America is a ferry ride to St. Pierre & Miquelon of the coast of Newfoundland, but I don't think there are any collectors there.

TAKerry Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Great Tour! Thanks for the photos. Almost like being there without a plane ticket. That private collection/garage is awesome in every way.

Craig Thank you very much 8E45E , yes it's a very nice collection and this person is very nice He will soon make a roof over the three red gas stations to make it look like a real vintage gas station. He also continues to look for old signs, ... to complete his collection. On top of that the jukebox was working and there was good music all over the garage, and people were playing the old foosball ( baby foot in France ) that there was. There was a good atmosphere A I don't know if there are any collections of this in ST Pierre & Miquelon, maybe yes I don't know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
