Thannenkirch Classic Car show.

Now this was a pleasant additional surprise to our holiday. We really did just stumble across a classic car show going on in a village. I really, honestly had not found out about it before hand and 'just happened' to drive there that day. HONESTLY.

There was a great mix of cars, mostly French including some rarities, some Americans and a smattering of British sports cars which I completely ignored.

BAM! 404 Coupe!

Image

THUMP! Taunus!

Image

WHACK! Glas coupe!

Image

Image

BIFF! Citroen derivatives.

Image

OK, I might be running out of comic book superlatives now. Have a cool '55 Chevy on Moon discs.

Image

Vespa dwarfed by Buick.

Image

Swing around and here was the best bit. Just check this line up.

Image

O. M. G. I have only ever seen a DB coupe before at Retromobile and I've never seen a Junior.

Image

Happiest car ever.

Image

Image

304.

Image

Great combo for touring twisty mountain roads.

Image

Mehari had a selection of veloped things.

Image

Image

Image

Now, here's a car I had no clue about. In fact I've only found out what it is by having an internet search today. Anyone (Barrett probably) fancy hazarding a guess?

Image

Image

Moto Scat rally team.

WOULD

Image

Quality local bus. Care to guess the maker?

Image

Here is the answer.

Image

Image

This was the week before the Mathis gathering but there were a couple there spreading the word.

Image

Image

Image

A less bus like Delahaye turned up.

Image

Image

Image

followed closely by this Lagonda Rapier.

Image

I love these 304 coupes.

Image

And finally here's an Amazon with a really odd set of (original, PaulH?) wire wheels.

Image

There's a few more photos here but I have posted most of them.

Great selection there! I need to 'accidentally' find a car show next year.

I'd say aftermarket, & of French origin. The only postwar cars that I've ever seen that style of wire wheel (bolt-on, with the large hubs & hubcaps) have been French. However I guess that it could possibly a French Volvo dealer's optional extra though.

You keep posting excellent things. This is not a criticism, I just thought it worth mentioning in the hope it would encourage you to continue.
