Video Discription |
A total of 170 photos ft classic French cars from Citroen, Renault, Bugatti, Simca, Peugeot, Hotchkiss & more make up this classic car photo compilation video.
I've had very little to do with classic cars built in France, but I've always liked their quirky character especially with regard to the older cars, say of the 1970s and before, the detailing can be fascinating.
In this video I've gathered together 170 photos of mostly-preserved French cars, although there are a few derelict examples mixed in for added colour. If you've experienced the cars featured here, please pop a note in the comments section. The majority of the cars featured here fall into the 1920s - 1980s time period although a few may be slightly earlier or later, if I've missed out your favourite French voiture I apologise!
