Junkman Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Wagrain, Austria, obviously attracted the middle of the middle class.

Junkman Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Am I the only one who loves NTSC (never the same colour) postcards from kind of exotic places?

Junkman Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Some poor Belgian visited Cannes. Just look at that rodomont's tawdry whitewalls.I bet he wore two tone plimsolls and a fasciated sweater with his boater,because I'd have done the same.

Junkman Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Marrakech replete with Gelsenkirchen Baroque Taunus and a set of stinking cylinders with holes in them. I'm a bit baffled by the complete absence of Benzes, but Stuttgart is represented nevertheless in form of a 356 Porker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Dijon spanning four decades of chod, although in theory that 203 could still require an MoT. Those are Saviem SC10s until FPB7 corrects me. Of course such a convenient car park had to be converted into a useless empty concrete desertso that some people refusing to grow up and buy a car can ride their childrens toys there: sheffcortinacentre, ShiteRider and Sudsprint 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RayMK Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Isabella saloons were fairly common back in the day (possibly a biased view caused by dad being in the RAF, thus exposing us kids to more foreign stuff, thanks to postings in Germany and advantageous purchasing schemes - hence our RHD Ford Taunus 17m!) but the coupe was rare indeed.

Spottedlaurel Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Thirsk in that Yorkshireshire. Several Renaults in that Thirsk shot, otherwise all looks to be domestic stuff (with a lot of BLMC ADO16s). Neat matching pair of Mk1 Cortina estates, though I prefer the 2dr Mk3. I’m wondering about the conversation between the two chaps by the Marina, discussing levels of understeer perhaps? Looks like the road painters were struggling with their markings either side of the zebra crossing…… A later card I have: Old Postcard - Thirsk, Yorkshire by Spottedlaurel, on Flickr Sudsprint and Junkman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisbon_road Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 'ere, Mr Junkman, I've got a copy of that Tehran postcard. What are the chances of that?????? I also have one from Tehran at the same time with two LHD AEC Regents (buses). We passed through Tehran in about 1971. Junkman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 That was when I was for the first time in Beiruth. I was 7 or so.My father opened a branch of his civil engineering office there, in partnership with a Lebanese architectand my mom a branch of her fashion house, in partnership with his wife, a fashion designer.A few years later their dreams got pulverised.We did travel to Tehran quite a bit when I was a kid, my father and the Lebanese architect had severalbuilding projects there. Tehran and Beiruth were paradise in the early Seventies. A bit like Italy, but with proper food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkman Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 This is a railway station.It's in Beira, which is in Mozambique. I believe that's a Standard Vanguard next to a DKW 3=6 or Auto Union 1000.There should be some prime Trainshite inside.

Junkman Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 One would think VW's market share wasn't 50% in 1950s Germany when looking at this card. Sudsprint 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
