Italian & French Car Show/Swap at Woodley Park (Van Nuys) -- Sunday, November 4, 2018 -- some of the junk I bought

The guy I bought this from said it's from a Fiat 1100...  I wouldn't know.

The best I can tell, this is from a 1952 Jaguar XK120.  It's cast (as opposed to assembled from pieces) and from the little bit of poking around I did online, it might have been used only in 1952...  There's a separate ring that is slightly larger than the grill.  I'm not sure how this is supposed to go on the hood.  Will have to take a close look at an actual car at one of the shows in the future...

Really cool Font on this Renault badge.  Don't know when they used it, but it's made out of metal so not from a late model...

This is a relatively thin paperback.  The content looks very good, based on just a quick thumb-through.  The lowest priced one I could fine online was for about $60.  Pretty surprising for such a think paperback...

Three sets of Campagnolo made cast aluminum wheels for Alfa Romeo cars.  Was intending to purchase just one wheel but I ended up with 12...  At least they can sit outside & don't have to take up space in the garage.  It would be good to clean each one up so that it's presentable but since it's going to stay outside, it would only get dirty again...


A biography of Louis Renault published in 1957 (translated from French).  Thumbed through it & it looks like it will be entertaining reading, if I ever get to it.
