I'm a bit at a loss. I know this won't let me sleep tonight.

 

Given the Boneschi Fiat, I hazard a guess it's 1950 and there is a car show going on in Venice.

The cars in the left row are all show cars. So are the two poking their noses into the pic from the bottom.

They have strong Ghia overtones, no? The right one could well be a Ferrari 195 Inter.

The cabriolet with the two large instruments is very Pinin Farina, don't you think?

Damascus, as earlier.  Note the oval West German export plates on the red Opel, and covering the Seine-Maritime originals on the blue 404.

 

Long way from the Bundesrepublik.  And Normandy...

I'm not convinced that Pooshow wasn't nicked in the Bundesrepublik as well.

 

Note Bundes DIN 1451 fonts:

And the plates were proudly silver on black at the time in La Grande Republique.

Bought for the R16 (it's Bagnols sur Ceze, for those who care):

Same town, different shite:

On to Bandol. Is that snot green thing a Corvair?

The same town yields what I believe is a Mazda Luce and a baby shit coloured R16:

And some sporty shite:

Some desirable shite in Barr:

A Dyna Z Grand Standing in Basses. I think the yank convertible is a '46 Chevy.

Some pre war shite is still kicking about in Beaumont du Perigord:

In Beaune you can get a beer, but no meat.

Beaurepaire sounds like a good place for getting your shite fixed (card bought merely for the colours).

Oops, it's been nicked:

Some oddball stuff, even for France:

Wires and another DS Break in Blonville-sur-Mer. Is that woodgrained Fablon? Also note Zephyr/Zodiac

and what I believe is a '63 Dodge Dart.

This is Bonneville. No, not the one you drive fast at.
