The Star of the Show - Paris, Salon De L'Automobile, 1948


Recommended Posts

I found this fabulous picture on the web.
It's the Paris Motor Show, 1948 and, for me, the star is the red Plymouth convertible in the middle of the shot.
It's in prestigious company, close to the Saoutchik, Figoni et Falaschi and Cadillac stands...

WOW !!! Looks just like mine.. Same color, top, and little back window.  Much nicer though.

It's the only colour picture I've found of a Sumac Red P15 convertible, from back when the cars were new.
Here's another red convertible, but this is clearly mid-1950s and the car's a little worn...

And back in the day ...The question - What's  better than having a tiger in your tank? The answer needless to say was somewhat crude.;)
