The Russian ambulance given to France by the Czarina



Wow, this makes a clear indication of just how a car at this point was still built by horse carriage designers.

Found on https://www.facebook.com/isabelle.bracquemond.7?fref=nf

this wasn't the only car that looked like it had a stage coach body on a car cab, there was also the Hispano Suiza "Peter's Folly" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/04/very-odd-way-to-treat-hispano-suiza.html

and the Thrupp and Maberly 1913 electric for the queen http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/bridging-eras-of-horse-drawn-carriages.html

The Villeneuve Private Collection, 100 years of Parisian public transportation


100 years of transportation in Paris in a single hangar, this private collection of the RATP is not opened to public

Starting at age 8, Michel Migeot began a collection of oil cans and petroliana, now he's made his collection a small museum

I found a blog of service garage and gas stations about 90 years ago in France, and calendar girls (remember wayyy back when service bays had Snap On or Playboy calendars?)



A long time ago, gas was delivered in tin cans, and it looks like the delivery boy lost his cart load just as the camera clicked, judging by the guys running towards it



very unusual to see the photos of the inside of service stations


same place above and below... the old man in the center doesn't move

1922 Helica, propeller driven car

Invented and sold by Frenchman Marcel Leyat in the early 1900s. This one above, a 1922 saloon car version
