Probably a 1949 model, because there won't have been a market for expensive coachbuilt woodies when Peugeot could deliver its own Familale version. Mignot & Billebault was the most famous woody builder in France. Btw, nice picture of Auxerre (Yonne) with the Benedict abbey of Saint-Germain. We were there last year: -- Last edit: 2010-05-02 23:35:34
sixcyl ◊ 2010-05-02 23:42	I agree with Mignot&Billebault work. It fits well with this coach-builder of the late 40'S who made most of its conversions on high/medium series vehicles as Ford or Hotchkiss..and probably Peugeot too.
