Interesting french cars : The Facel Vega, The Hispano Suiza, Delage,
Delahaye, the Citroen traction.
And as far as the French go, I am a spouse to one, and son to another!
...and if anyone is interested, my dad is selling a Citroen DS21 Pallas
1972 (?) with a perfect body (Calif. car all its life) and good mechanicals.
The leather is dry, but recoverable. Interior is otherwise good. Low miles.
He is also selling a CX2000, 1978, with minimal rust (Acquired in its
previous life in France.) and good mechanicals. The DS21 runs, the CX2000
ran when parked, I haven't checked it lately.
I'd buy the DS21 if I had the garage space and the money...
Requisite LBC content: I had removed a door panel from Tintin, and
accidently put a tear in it while lying around the garage (@#$%^&#$%^&).
I got one of those cheap vinyl repair kits ("Inventors vinyl repair").
Poked some cotton bedsheet inside, glued down the edges with super glue
(Cyanoacrylate) and weighted it down with a piece of plastic (Polypropylene)
and ten pounds of steel. Then I used their black vinyl goop, texture
sheet, and little iron and voila! It looks almost as good as new. At
least from about three feet. A lot cheaper than a new panel. The texture
looked perfect. There was a little indentation that may come out once
the plastic relaxes.
