Period Picture Overload

[barrett]

Hey!

Not sure if anyone is familiar with the French forum-auto site, but there is a load of great stuff on there. Just stumbled on this thread which seems to be dedicated to period pictures of cars... 173 pages of them! Some really good stuff if you've got a few hours to kill!

I try and have a look at that site when I get chance. Theres a thread on old garages which has some superb pictures in it.

Have you seen the Tagora thread? Magnificent! Beaucoup des Boobydoux. Here's a taster:

Oooh, gotta link to the Tagora thread?

this thread about crashed cars reminded me about a website I once saw (maybe someone's flickr page) that was entirely made up of crashed Tatra 603 photos. Anyone know that one?

 

Anyway, that site is awesome for period photos of chod. It's the only place i've found decent pics of the Ogle Cortina built for Sirling Moss, and they've got one of the trickiest 'mystery car' topics on the whole net.

One more pic before bed:

That Horizon has got the mother of all underseal tidemarks!

Forum-Auto is bloody great, 90% of the time you search for some odd motor on Google and it'll link you to a thread on there. Good stuff.

Hurrah! I have some Huiles Renault stuff back from when I was an 'idiot'. (greenvanman : 2007).

 

Please note the optional JOAL 1:40 scale Renault 10.

 

Also, this double sided mofo I bought from the Beaulieu Autojumble for 47 of my English pounds? If the plug mountings fail I get stabbed in the head by a massive sign with pointed edges. I've also gotr a frigging enormous ShellMex sign and a bus stop request thing from the mid sixties. As well as a Russell Square station sign. And a Citroen Camionette grille.

WOW! I do like the front of that. Never seen that pic before. I've always thought the car would have looked better without the round lights at the front...just the rectangular ones running through to the grille. Much more sleek.The glue they used on the glass lens was of inferior quality and stories circulate that after a while the whole lot would just fall off! Not happened to me ...yet.

The more I look at that Tagora ^ the more it appears to be a clay mock-up. It's on stands and that doesn't look like glass. Also, my screen is filthy and it appears to say Citroen on the grille

[barrett]

It says 'Chrysler', but yes it is just a styling mock-up
