Ces belles voitures dont a rêvé mon père
The 1950s and 1960s were the golden age of the automobile. They allowed the democratization of this mode of transport through popular cars accessible to a greater number of people.
Buying a car in the 1950s and even at the beginning of the 1960s was a path of suffering because of very long delivery times and the faltering consumer credit. Acquiring a foreign vehicle before the opening of the common market was even worse!
Yesterday as today, some were more of a dream than others. But because of their higher price, their marginality, their origin, their taxation, there were still dream cars. If the driver of the 1950s and 1960s drove a 4 CV or Simca 1000, he dreamed of more emblematic, more sporty, more bourgeois, more elitist and above all more emotional models.
Through "Ces belles voitures dont a rêvé mon père" we invite you to take the wheel of these most passionate cars from the 1950s and 1960s, which made our fathers and grandfathers dream so much. Through the 192 pages of this book, listen to the rustle of the eight-cylinders of the Vedette or the Chambord, the thick rumble of a Traction 15-Six, the deep rattle of the Alfa Romeo Giulia, the rumble of a swollen Panhard flat-twin, the quiet hammering of a VW Karmann-Ghia coupe, the meow of a two-stroke DKW, the growl of a Chevrolet Corvair.
