Shite Postcards

[Junkman]

La merde Japonnais is creeping into Agon-Coutainville, but it's still outnumbered by Rosbiff chod.

 

 

 

 

Some sophisticated animal torture is going on in Aigues-Mortes:

 

 

 

This is in Ainhoa, wherever that is.

 

 

 

There's not really a lot going on in Alencon.

 

 

[Junkman]

Allevard is PShome approved.

 

 

 

Amiens - Pont de Metz:

 

 

 

 

Amiens Archishite and Amazon:

 

 

 

I begin to understand where Norev got their inspiration for colours from:

 

 

[chaseracer]

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...

 

[Junkman]

In Annonay some oldtimers are still stubbornly puttering around with their Force de Resistance tacots:

 

 

 

Remember when the doctor was the only one in town who had a car and wore a tie?

This is Anor.

I wouldn't want to imagine what its nightlife is like.

 

[Junkman]

Let's move on to Antibes.

 

Archishite and Cadillac:

 

 

 

Look at that poser what with his BMW:

 

 

 

Hence someone had to buy a bigger BMW:

 

 

 

Look, a Velosolex:

 

 

 

'59 Impala and '62 Caddy floppytops:

 

 

 

I always thought shops were open in France only between 1940 and 1944.

But that's a '56 Ford Sunliner there.

 

[mercrocker]

Renault Rodeo!

[Junkman]

Some British holidaymakers in Arcachon. I bet they brought their tinned beans with them.

 

 

 

Some crime is in progress:

 

 

 

Flags demonstrate holidaymakers from which country are expected.

 

 

 

Giulia Sprint Veloce!

 

[Junkman]

Look how discreetly my car is parked in Argeles-Gazost:

 

 

 

Argeles-Gazost is not to be confused with Argeles sur Mer, although I don't see la mer in this shite postcard:

 

 

 

But there is a Vauxhall:

 

 

And some gold quality Archishite:

 

 

B Kadett, A Manta and Cortina MKII:

 

[Junkman]

Argenteuil in Colour (why do they always forget to paint the headlights yellow?):

 

 

 

 

An UNIC in freezing Argentiere:

 

 

 

A Jaaaag in Argenton-sur-Creuse:

 

 

 

Kässbohrer Setra in Arles:

 

 

 

NSU Prinz and Triumph Toledo (?) in Armentieres:

 

 

 

Some people got onto the housing ladder in Arneke. I bet that 2CV is financed, too.

 

 

 

Phares jaunes in Arnouville les Gonesse:

 

 

 

Just look at that shithole:

 

 

 

Ovlov jaune:

 

[Junkman]

Les couleurs de Norev in Arpajon:

 

 

 

 

 

MG and Skoda in Arras:

 

 

 

A Brit in Arromanches

 

 

 

And a DKW:

 

[Junkman]

Jacques Tati would be delighted in Assevilliers.

 

[chaseracer]

^^ A 142, no less... 

[Junkman]

Auch:

 

 

 

Aulnay-sous-Bois - look at that petrol station!

 

 

 

You could buy an R16, a McCulloch lawnmower, a Mobylette and get pissed within 30 yards in Aumale:

 

 

 

Two (!) R Sixes in Aumont-Aubrac:

 

 

 

NSU Prinz, Mini and an Amazon in Avignon:

 

[Junkman]

Rear engined cars don't appear to do too well in Andorra:

 

[Junkman]

This is in Belgium, but I don't know where:

 

[Junkman]

The Parliament in Dakar:

 

[Junkman]

I found a few more from Andorra.

 

 

 

 

 

[Junkman]

I have no idea where these are from:
 

 

 

 


 

And I would like to know what's heading for Venice here:

 

[RayMK]

What is the black two door saloon in the first one, which is making the GS behave like a scared cat?

 

Can't help with the ferry to Venice, but I am really enjoying these continental motoring scenes from 40-60 years ago.  The only old postcard I've got is a 1980s reprint of a much earlier postcard - Isle of Wight and all pre-WW2 cars.  I'll add it later when found.

[Junkman]

Do you mean in Agon-Coutainville? The black car sneaking into the pic from the right? Behind the white R6?
 
I think it's one of those:
 

 

[pshome]

This is in Belgium, but I don't know where:

 

 

This is at Kooigem they have the greasiest "Fritures" of all Belgium, i am sure the postcard still drips oil.

I think it's one of those:

 

 

 

 

'Liked' because I had not realised that you'd posted more before the one I was referring to - which I might have missed entirely if you hadn't suggested the Audi which I could not remember seeing anywhere.

 

The saloon that I can't identify is on the first postcard, bottom left, of post number 618.

[Junkman]

Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint.

[pshome]

I have no idea where these are from:

 

 

 

 

 

Vibraye

Ronce les Bains

Sète

Grimaldi

 

don't you have something challenging?

[martc]

 

 

I always thought shops were open in France only between 1940 and 1944.

 

 

 

 

Unlike the rest of Europe where many were shut 'for the duration'.

[RayMK]

Alfa Romeo 2600 Sprint.

 

Yes! I've never seen one from that angle before.....and only ever seen one in the flesh. Books tend to picture them at ground level.

[Junkman]

 

Vibraye

Ronce les Bains

Sète

Grimaldi

 

don't you have something challenging?

 

 

Nope.

 

Now identify the cars going Veniceward. And I don't mean the obvious ones, like the Ardea, Traction and Fiat 1100.

I think this is a batch of special bodied cars going to an exhibition.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

The Triumph in Armentieres is the far more upmarket 1300, possibly a TC from the badge on the wing.

[Junkman]

I found one of them - 1950 Fiat 1400 by Carrozzeria Boneschi:

 

 

[pshome]

The convertible has the same dashboard with the two center dials and the big knob in the middle as the 1952 Lancia B52 Aurelia PF200 Spider, but its not one. So whatever this car is, Pinin stole the dials from it for the PF200.
