Recently there was an event in Amboise called American Days. It turns out it was mainly a show of American cars and motorcycles. Most of the cars were from the 50s and 60s but this one from the 30s was the oldest and I think the most interesting. It was assembled in France (in Alsace) by a German owned company Mathis and the Ford Motor Company. Thus the name Matford. The combined company went out of business during World War II.
very pretty old car!
ReplyDeleteYes, the owner is an American living not far from Amboise and he was very proud of it... as he should be.
DeleteI would love to own such a car :-)
ReplyDeleteMe too !

ReplyDeleteBonjour Dominique. Tu parle parfaitement anglais maintenant!
DeleteI loooove it. Many interesting things happen in Amboise, so always nice ways to take a photo. Que demander plus ? I am a brandnew auntie since yesterday, my brother in Canada got a little son. I am leaving tomorrow to welcome my little nephew.

ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised. There weren't many of them. This is the first one I've seen.
DeleteIt certainly is well maintained!
ReplyDeleteYes, the American owner is quite meticulous. It looks new.

DeleteThe eyes of the headlamps have quite a personality.
