Shep Shepherd Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Looks like it's a Simca Vedette, which was known as the Ford Vedette before Simca took over Ford France in the mid-1950s. eddyramrod and mercrocker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phminiman Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Lovely stuff. I do like an old Volvo and I have a definite soft spot for a 504. Here's one I happened upon randomly near Mont St. Michel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spottedlaurel Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 Some nice stuff there. I'm always hopeful of 'just stumbling across' some sort of classic car event on our French hol's. It hasn't happened yet, might have to do a bit pre-trip research this year. Your shots neatly illustrate those wide French paths either side of the road, ideal for quickly pulling onto and getting a photo of something interesting on a driveway..... eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dollywobbler Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 That Facel Vega Facellia is a pretty remarkable spot! When Facel Vega made the mistake of trying to build its own engine. Think they just lobbed a Volvo engine in later on. Magnificent Rustbucket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 That one's a Facel III, would have the B18 if not modded......They did one with a Healey lump too. Magnificent Rustbucket 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
