rocketraider Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Thanks for pics. Some of those cars aren't seen that often here in US. I've often wondered- what kind of reactions does your cop car get over there?🚔 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered- what kind of reactions does your cop car get over there?🚔 Hello and thank you for your answer My police car is much appreciated. People laugh, take pictures, purposely stop on the road to chat or take pictures (such as Sunday morning when I went to fill up with gas before arriving at the exhibition, there is a car which stopped on purpose to see the dodge and discuss, and 3 other people came to see me) There are also people who love this model and they tell me that it is very rare and that we see more of it. Then other people tell me that it reminds them a lot of rosco's car in the dukes of hazard, ... And even on the road the French police laugh and say hello to me, and one day the police stopped me to take pictures of my dodge . Here in France, this Dodge Monaco is rare (the former owner told me that there were 2 in France) and it is appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true that it takes a lot of time to sort the photos, put them in order and copy them to the forum. I can copy two photos at a time and I manage to post a little more than 10 photos per post, and it takes time. But it is with pleasure that I share these photos . In America you may be used to seeing mustangs, camaros or challengers regularly, but here challengers and camaros are rare, and you don't see mustangs on the road every day. Even a V6 Challenger from 2010 is rare in France. It's often that we don't come across an American car all week long, the ones we come across are the Chrysler PT Cruiser, 300C and Ford Mondeo (... ) I still have some photos left to post, I'll continue for a bit now before going back to work, and tonight when I get home from work 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are to be commended for taking the time and having the patience to document these gatherings. (We would call them cruiseins here.) These are also good examples of the fact that calling something rare has geographic overtones. Where I am (British Columbia, Canada) French cars are extremely rare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for your answer, it's nice I'm happy if you like it, I'm happy to share these photos. Here in France there are a lot of French cars on the road, and then we will see German, European and Japanese cars. But the most we see are French cars. We can see with luck a Mustang or a Dodge Ram during the day but it is rare, normally American cars are for the enthusiast for pleasure and it is especially on weekends that we see them. But you can still see them during the week with a little luck. For example last week I had the chance to see a very nice convertible C7 corvette in a hospital parking lot . Yes it's true that French cars are rare to see in Canada or America, you shouldn't see them every week I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAKerry Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Again, thanks for posting the shots you guys took. I like to have a 'look' into car culture from another country. It looks like California and Texas are popular license plates to have! All of the cars are beautiful and I appreciate the rarity that they are in your part of the world. I would say that a good many are even rare here in the US, however it is interesting to see some of what is there that I pass on a regular day either on the road or sitting in a driveway or even rotting away in some ones backyard covered in weeds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgreen Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I noticed that several cars had plates that appeared to have local tag numbers but still had a US state written across the top or bottom of the plate. How does your registration work over there? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello and thank you very much for your answer Yes, there are rare models that you don't see much in France. I had the chance to go on vacation to America this summer 2022 (3 weeks in California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah), and I had the chance to see an American car show in Los Angeles at Bob's big boy burbank ! it was awesome and I saw cars that I had never seen ! And here in France I do a lot of old car exhibitions and it is with pleasure that I share the photos . Yes, California license plates are very popular here in France . this winter I broke the gearbox (904) of my 1978 Dodge Monaco police, and I took the gearbox to be repaired so that the Dodge is ready for this new year for the exhibitions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
