Cel Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 We visited this museum in the Loire valley a couple of weeks ago, it contains a very nice collection of old iron. Most of the objects have been found in France. Here are some pictures, it is certainly worth a visit. I have more pictures but mostly of the tractors and engines.

Great War truck Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 What fantastic pictures! Thanks. The guy on the FWD looks a little ill. Probably been watching the guillotine in use. Interesting to see the engine covers off the side of the FWD. Not just us who has problems with it over heating then! Very curious to see the Atlas. Does it say anthing else about the lorry? Anyway, what a marvellous collection. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Looking at the FWD, it appears to have a British army body on it, but the US petrol tank. The hooks on the chassis look like British ones, but that type were not usually fitted to FWD's. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cel Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Rather than starting a new thread I thought I would post some pictures taken during our holiday in France last week. trailer on solid wheels, front wheels with wooden spokes, rear wheels Renault difficult to photograph... In a small village we visited a WW1 museum in Burgundy. The 85 year old lady was very happy to give us a tour, she had collected quite a number of artifacts since her youth. There are several hundreds of postcards in her collection, she said that if I could find one with a Peugeot I could have it. I went throught 20 or so albums and was kindly allowed to take pictures, but no Peugeot... Next time I'll take a scanner, who knows what is still hidden in those albums. And a nice Berliet chain drive truck. Best regards Marcel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BSM Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Marcel, a great selection of images. Thank you and the 85 year old Museum owner for sharing. Coming across those post cards is almost as good as finding a WW1 motor vehicle in a barn. Regards ... Rod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
