Also the grille would have been fully chromed, and with the distinct winged emblem. I think the headlights are still fully chromed and there's no stoneguard on the (large) rear fenders, and the grille isn't protruding enough for a 6-cylinder. So I'd go for a 1938/39 11 B Familale with a front bumper of a 15 Six D... The location is Place Marx Dormoy in Montélimar (of course). In less than two weeks I'll have a look how the Peugeot garage (and the Simca garage just around the corner) are nowadays. We'l participate at the international Panhard meeting in Montélimar during Pentecost
