NO TITLE-SOLD ON A BILL OF SALE ONLY Exterior Looking the part of all automobiles of the day, it leads the way with a chromed radiator surround and circular headlights all shiny and nice. A cowled hood has brown on top and yellow for the sides. Curved fenders and a running board are attached and present in brown. 18-inch artillery wheels in contrasting yellow are on and looking in good condition. A 2 door version of the salon, all glass and surrounding trimmings are shiny and bright. This car is a right hand driver and to aid in the view, mirrors are attached to either side just prior to the firewall which is brown. The passenger compartment is covered in brown as are all the uppers of the car. A nicely curved line delineates the top from the bottom pan back and a spare tire is hanging off the bumper less rear of the car. No rust seen on this French steel femme. Interior Also fully restored we see nicely covered and straight tight door panels in brown broadcloth. Upfront, the seats are squared off buckets with tuck and roll pattern in brown broadcloth. These have chromed metal edging for the hinges and backs. In the back is a long bench stretching from side to side. Meanwhile, the carpeting is another shade of brown and nicely preserved and like new. Sides and headliner are in a cream broadcloth and all nice and tight and not stained. A curved wood dash top is above a leather covered dash front in a shiny brown which is semi-metallic finished. A wood rimmed steering wheel fronts the dash and delicate gauges in French are seen with patina bezels. A few knobs and pulls in silver are also installed to perform various functions. All looking great for this French designed and inspired interior. Drivetrain Under the cowled hood is a 950cc inline 4 cylinder engine. It has a 1-barrel carburetor on top, and a 3-speed manual transmission on back. Engine has been fully restored and has just a bit of dust on the top but no rust or corrosion. Just aft of the engine within the firewall is the red painted fuel tank. Undercarriage Again, no real rust to speak of, just a bit of surface rust on the muffler and exhaust piping. All else is straight black painted steel for the frame structure and leaf springs for the front, as well as quarter elliptical leaf springs for the back. Mechanical drum braking is on all 4 corners. Drive-Ability As with any car fresh out of long term storage, some TLC is in order before ignition is realized. While the engine does turn over by hand, no attempt was made to start this French import. An interesting auto from France, with a crested badge, racing history and a bit of relationship with Citroen for some parts in its manufacture. Allons faire un tour en voiture!
