Well, if it is an older Peugeot, I am sure I have some readers in France who might recognise it.

What car is this?
This was on the wall in Kurrajong House where I get my taxes done. I spent a bit of time trying to work out what make of car it is. It seems to be a small car. I thought I had it narrowed down to being a right hand drive Peugeot, perhaps a 403, but looking at the photo again, I am full of doubt. I think it is older than 1971.

Colour me clueless. I am sure more knowledgeable readers will be able to help.
ReplyDeleteEC, I think Anon below has nailed it with the make at least.
DeleteIt's a Citroen DS, of some unknown exact type. There would still be some of these cult cars on the roads in Australia.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anon. Brilliant. I was thinking French but failed to consider Citroen. Further investigation can now begin.
DeleteWe used to drive 403 Peugoet in PNG in the 60's. This doesn't look familiar them my memory is shot.
ReplyDeleteI still drive my little Peugeot today :)
DeleteDiane, they were a strange car, but quite high quality I seem to recall.
DeleteHels, I can even guess which one you have.
DeleteI am not great with cars but I do like the seat colours!
ReplyDeleteLady J, and the seats look like leather.
DeleteThat's the sort of picture I would look at, say "Huh" and never think about it again. I don't have the same interest in knowing.
ReplyDeleteRiver, I know enough about cars of that vintage to know what it was without checking, but this one I did not. I need to know before I die!
DeleteThe car seat for some reason I like.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Dora, being leather, I am sure they would be nice and warm, and wouldn't you like that now.
DeleteOh I wouldn't/don't have a clue as to what it is - just a steering wheel to me :)
ReplyDeleteMargaret, it does have an interesting dash layout.
DeleteHow did you understand it is Peugeot? I could not find any clue!
ReplyDeleteRecep, it looked quite foreign and quirky to me and not American. Where to go but France.
DeleteThe silly steering wheel would suggest that it's a Citroen; possibly a DS (Goddess).
ReplyDeleteCro, thanks. I am now thinking it is a Goddess. I will check further.
DeleteI am sure my beautiful steady thirty year old Nissan Patrol would give it a run for its money.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, after it has been stationary for a few hours and its air suspension has allowed the car to nearly rest on the ground, I think you in your Patrol could drive over it.
DeleteNot a clue.
ReplyDeleteC'mon Walt. It does look French, don't you think?
DeleteSo it's a Citroen DS, I knew that.. if you believe that you would believe anything 😀
ReplyDeleteP.s. one of the two attractive men I mentioned yesterday is you 😉
Grace, I don't really believe you about anything, but flattery does go down well.
DeleteI opened up this post to see if I knew the make. What a laugh. I don't even recognise my own car. Twice recently I tried to open other people's cars. To be fair they were red like mine!
ReplyDeleteMarie, cars used to be quite distinctive, but not now. I have gone to the wrong car, but not tried to open it.
DeleteNot a clue on that.
ReplyDeleteSandra, now if it was a Chevy, maybe you would know.
DeleteTo me the inside of a car look all the same, but my first car in the 60th a Fiat 500 had also the gear at the wheel, so it's difficult to say and very important the driving wheel is on the WRONG side, lol !
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother had one of those in 60s. It was a very strong car.
DeleteI just heard the figures yesterday, and 25% of the world think the steering wheel is on the correct side.
