Recommended Posts

yesterday was the French & Italian Car Show here in Los Angeles, it was held at Victory Park in Van Nuys. It was a beautiful day; we had rain a couple of days before and a cool front had moved in so it was sunny but cool. Once again my car was not ready but i went and had a great time anyway. here are some of the cars i saw:

renault gta 2-litre:

this is a 1935 peugeot 302 belonging to peter -- he also owns the black tatra (below). peter has a number of interesting old cars, sometimes he rents them out for tv/movie production. he says that the 302 was originally black but someone painted it yellow some time ago. he's had it a few years and plans to keep it unrestored (original) for the foreseeable future. this car has cable (i.e., non-hydraulic) brakes...my favorite thing on this car is the trailer hitch setup (installed by a previous owner). peter says he has no idea what they could have been towing with this car...

Nice photos!

A couple of corrections: the first "Renault 10" is in fact a Renault 8, and the "Renault 10 Gordini" is similar to the BMW 320i AMG badging horrors I see sometimes!

thanks! first "renault 10" corrected...as for the gordini, i don't know, man...all the gordinis i've seen have been blue with the white stripe, i don't know what's up with this one...
