Sunday, November 6, 2022 -- French & Italian Car Show @ Woodley Park (Van Nuys) - Part 4

The Traction Avant has this piece at the bottom of the grille.
It looks like something where if you cut out the center of the piece, a hand crank could be inserted to hand start the engine...
The stuff behind the grille looks like an extension of the transmission?

Cool headlamp pod on the TA.

Don't see these on the roads anymore.
Might have been the last model sold here before Peugeot left the US Market.

Don't think I've seen this "trunk" accessory(?) before.
Looks like it can hold quite a lot of stuff...

Like the fog/driving lamp pods...

 

Saturday, October 22, 2022 -- Fall Fling Mopar @ Woodley Park -- Part 18 - Proto - Plomb Tool Co. 7/16" - 3/8" Open End Wrench

Before some cleaning.



After some light cleaning...

Not exactly sure how long or for which tools, but for a very short time, when PLOMB was changing name to PROTO, they marked some wrenches with both names, using the original PLOMB script with the letter O as vertical triangles that look kinda like a plumb-bob...



 

When IBM was something...
