Shite Postcards

[chaseracer]

Where's the rain, the suicidal drivers, the illogical roadworks, or the Dante-esque steelworks and refineries? 

[Junkman]

This is how I love my shite postcards.

 

Artificial colouring - check.

Awash with Autoshite - check.

Backdrop is Archishite - check.

Exotic location - check. (It's Essen, if you need to know)

Something politically incorrect going on - check (Note the cigar shop)

 

 

 

 

When you could have an ice cream and a beer next to a Pfaff sewing machines shop in Lainate (Milan).

Note angular Ford not being as angular as the Lancia in front of it.

Also, there is an NSU Prinz 4 parked further down the street.

 

 

 

 

A proper car and a very fast A Kadett are parked at the railway station in Aulnoye.

 

 

 

 

This one is just marvelously shite.

 

[Junkman]

And for those who like really old French chod, this is St Jean de Monts last week.
 

 
Note early 4CV (5 lug wheels) and late 4CV (3 lug wheels) parked side by side.
I learned this distinguishing feature from Marina Wolters. Stop sniggering!
 
 
Staying in France, this medieval archishite and some stinking cylinders with holes in them
are in Saint-Jean-Pied-De-Port and no, I did not make this up.
 

 

Of extreme noteworthiness is that the place to the right of the gate appears to be open for business.

[Tadhg Tiogar]

I used to have some Austrian shite postcards, but can't remember where they are now....

[Frogchod]

Where's the rain, the suicidal drivers, the illogical roadworks, or the Dante-esque steelworks and refineries? 

You just described Dieppe. Were you lost ?

Dieppe also doesn't look like this:

Next time you travel via Ouisterham give me a shout

Ouisterham looks like this:

[Junkman]

Dieppe.jpg

OMG2OH2!

[Junkman]

This is Mojave, a drab place in that country West of the United States.

A lot of interesting chod and an Aston Martin someone festooned with those terrible whitewalls.

 

[Frogchod]

OMG2OH2!

OMG what's an OH2 ?

[Frogchod]

More postcards of French shite to bore you with.

I've no idea of why this one is a postcard:

Another port:

Grim:

Comedy colourisation:

Yankshite in Deauville:

Tagora bottom left ?

More seaside with added Decap:

Yellow lights

Vespa ?

[mercrocker]

Oui, c'est une Vespa 400.   404 Hardcore, sorry Hardtop, action going on in that first one too (rubs trousers)  

[chaseracer]

You just described Dieppe. Were you lost ?

 

Acksherley, at that point, we were!

 

Meanwhile, 5500 miles to the west of departement 60, that Mojave Aston must be worth more than the whole town now...

[chaseracer]

Next time you travel via Ouisterham give me a shout

 

Will do, Keith.  Aiming to do the D-day beaches this year.

[adw1977]

More postcards of French shite to bore you with.

I've no idea of why this one is a postcard:

Arch2.jpg

 

Not just the postcard - the stamp shows the same building!

 

Apparently Rob Mallet-Stevens was a French architect and the postcard shows Rue Mallet-Stevens in Paris.

[Junkman]

I have no idea why this is a postcard.

 

 

Looks like they frisk some English.

[chaseracer]

Tagora bottom left ?

 

Solara.

 

 

[Junkman]

Borgward Isabella pick up in Punta del Este, Uruguay

 

 

 

Agram, Austria Zagreb, Yugoslavia Croatia awash with GM chod.

 

 

Looks like two Rekord P2, an A Rekord and a 1956 Chevrolet 210 four door sedan.

[Junkman]

Hazebrouck ca 1982. There's a Dolly Sprint.

 

 

Imagine how many Simcas would have been parked there just ten years earlier.

How could they fuck this up so badly?

[Spottedlaurel]

Lots of R5s there. Mk1 Escort vaguely of note amongst the French stuff.

[Junkman]

Interestingly there are at least four C Kadetts representing Germany, but only one VW.

[Spottedlaurel]

Also an early R4 on the bottom right, and a commercial version without windows in the C-pillars?

[chaseracer]

Dyane, front and centre.  Merveilleux.

[Junkman]

Yeah, and you'd probably could have bought it for 250 FF TTC.

[chaseracer]

Also an early R4 on the bottom right, and a commercial version without windows in the C-pillars?

 

R3, believe it or not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renault_4

[Junkman]

Is it only me who thinks the R6 was quite a flop?

You hardly see any even on contemporary pics.

[pshome]

Let's go shopping in Stockholm

[pshome]

Parking spaces used to be larger, 3 cars can fit in two spots, try that today.

What is the black one at the very right next to white 404?

 

[Spottedlaurel]

Jaguar Mark II? Also a Spitfire a few cars along that row.

[RayMK]

I also thought Jag Mk2, but there's another perhaps lesser known black car next to a black 404 a couple of rows higher in the photo.  I reckon that one could be a Simca Ariane or possibly a Simca Vedette.

Looks like the hipster selling coffee out of a Citroen H van outside a station is not a modern phenomenon then.

Edsel front & centre in Stockholm, plus a mk2 consul & possibly zodiac
