Minic 34M : Open tourer with passengers

I think the only way to see a Shell petrol can on the running board of a flared wing is to find a 34M Open Tourer with passengers. Indeed, on all other cars I've seen with flared wings, there was no can. It may partially be explained by the fact that most of them might be from the first series (1935-1936). As the tin petrol can appeared on the 2nd series as well as the rounded wings, it could easily be said that the matrix wouldn't allow to set a can on the flared wings unlike the rounded ones.

DC Peugeot 302 : Love is blue


Picture taken from Vincent's Auto jaune
blog, my father's model was like the
the bottom one.
When I was a little boy I used to fancy light blue model cars.
I remember my dad had two models which I use to like a lot, a sedan Peugeot 402 mase of 'Plaster & Flour" made by J.R.D. in the thirties, and a light blue Citroën 15-6 by Norev from the late fifties (in fact the rarest issue as they were normally issued in black or grey only).

Waiting for the bus

Surfing on the internet, I suddenly discovered there has been a life in the north... I'm terribly ashamed, I must admit I had once or twice been told about danish toys, but except for some Tekno which I didn't really like, I had seen nothing until this incredibly stupendous bus from the Metallo K.A. Birk company.
