We have always liked the factory “lowrider” look of this car, not only for the height from the ground but also for its beautiful reverse channel wheels, usually painted in contrast with the rest of the car. It’s called Renault 4CV and it was produced from 1946 to 1961, but it was however secretely designed by Renault… Read More Factory slammed: 1956 Renault 4CV
The seller of the beautiful blue car (see related) opened our eyes on this very rare and particular car, and here is another one: don’t expect to see another one for sale for a while. Here we have the same car in a different color combo: a cream exterior mated to a tobacco leather interiors:… Read More Enter the second: 1961 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet by Pininfarina
Differently from what you could suppose, the Vespa 400 was built in France by ACMA (a Piaggio spin-off), because Piaggio wanted to avoid any commercial conflict with Fiat which, back then, was the incumbent little cars producer and the most powerful economic (and not only) institution in Italy. Jumping back to this car, the seller bought… Read More Four-wheeled scooter: 1961 Vespa 400S

C’mon, who didn’t think, watching the car driven by lieutenant Columbo, “Hey but…what the hell is that wreck?” Believe it or not, that car is a sister of the gorgeous car submitted to us by its owner and seller and featured here.

The seller of this beautiful Peugeot 202 (aka “The Cross-Eyed Car”) has in great consideration the confort of the future owner: indeed he says that this car is not for sale to Africa as it’s black and without air conditioning, so down there it would easily become hot and unconfortable. The pleasant streamline shape derives from… Read More Not for Africa: 1939 Peugeot 202

One of the strangest thing to think about is a WWII electric car. Maybe the lack of gasoline in such period pushed the S.A.T.A.M. (acronym of “Société Anonyme pour Tous Appareillages Mécaniques”, established in 1921) to build this car.
