sebastienbuick Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 hello, this weekend in the small village "Escatalens" 2 minutes from my village, there was an old car exhibition. This time I will post more photos because there was Saturday and Sunday (more than 600 photos to post) For starters, this Saturday May 28th, there was a car parts market, and there were a few cars for sale as well. There were also people who had come in old cars to see the parts market. Here are the first photos when we arrived at the parking lot Peugeot 309 GTI Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9L Citroën traction VW Beetle Citroën DS Simca 1294 Rally 2 Opel Manta 16 S Peugeot 203 Renault 11 TXE Citroën 2CV " Charleston " Citroën traction 15 ( 6 cylindres ) Renault 4CV Peugeot 205 CTI and Citroën HY 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

58L-Y8 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Thanks for sharing these photos, it's always interesting to see how car people around the world participate in the hobby. The Peugeot 202 is most interesting to Americans because of the apparent influence of the Chrysler Airflow. Americans have the flea market; the English hold an autojumble. What is the French term for this type of event? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joe_padavano Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Very cool, thanks for posting. My wife and I have a home in La Roque sur Ceze and just spent three weeks there. Looks like Escatalens is a fair drive from there, but I've been curious about auto-related events when we're there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is the French term for this type of event? Hello and thank you for your message Yes the Peugeot 202 is interesting, and I really like this model with the headlights inside the grille. This one was a barn find, completely original, a bit of puncturing rust but nothing serious, and the bottom is in good condition . The French term is "une bourse de piéces de voiture " ( a purse of car parts ) , for the sale of spare parts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenie Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The swap meet vendors would fit nicely into Hershey. That seems fitting, as the French probably inspired the term Flea Market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocketraider Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Then you should have yourself a grinning Buick! Go for a similar year Roadmaster as it was the genesis of your Electra. Love it when this boy goes to a car show or swap meet in France. We're guaranteed to see a lot of interesting cars that just don't exist here in North America.
