Drive slow or… (UPDATE: very rare Peuegeot 402 Roadster and yes it's a Ford)



Our friend Fer likes to stroll around on flea markets, jumble sales and car boot sales and manages to find a little treasure every now and then, too. Take this picture for example, discovered at a 'marche aux puces' in Belgium recently. It shows a beautiful Peugeot 402 cabriolet. And it's not on its own. In fact it came in a stack of 10 photographs, all depicting the same, Belgian registered, 402. Fer believes they must have been made during a trip through Austria and Hungary. And there were even more. As a matter of fact visiting a race seemed to be one of the purposes of the travels, with more pictures of cars in action - Auto Unions supposedly - emerging. However, these were left on the flea market as the picture's quality was pretty bad, says Fer. Ouch!

He wonders about this cool picture, though, showing another pre war car. It's mounted high up on a sign post, which according to Google's translation programme reads 'Drive slow or memorial service'...  We can only guess the car was once involved into a nasty crash. Question is what it can be. A modified T-Ford?, Fer asks. We're sure you will be able to tell him.

It is a very rare 402 Roadster.

On my website
http://402eclipse.free.fr/index.php?idp=cartepostale402#R4
you can see over photos (of my collection) of a same car in Belgium and Autriche.
Very strange.
Numbers are not the same, but very similar.

The picture shows a very flat, open and rather bleak landscape- and it's the same today. The Belgian in that picture would have felt 'at home' in Hungary (apologies to Belgian and Hungarian readers!).. I drove across Hungary both last year and this. Today there are superb EU funded motorways, but still almost no traffic- perhaps because the funding did not include provision of fuel stations. I stopped to help a motorist in distress. He'd run out of fuel, and his car was a Peugeot (sadly though, not that one!!).

[quote name="Pal Negyesi"]Hi
Yes, it is a crashed Ford Model-T on the road to Balaton Lake in Hungary, near Lepsény.

You can see another picture showing this, which was supposed to be an ad for a towing service, with a Nash here:

This is not a 402 convertible, it's a 402 Roadster. The windshield and Frame is different, it is one glass and not divided into two parts. The 402 Eclipse hat also one glass but another Frame, similar to the Berline or the Convertible.
