And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Its fixable but you'll need a deep pocket. Mine was late 50's or early 60's and had been abused and I eventually gave up on it in '79 when I travelled overseas for an extended period. It wasn't hard to work on and the hydraulics were trouble free. At my wedding the toast master, my dad's best friend, said now that I was moving out he'd get his garage back. Was a great drive when going - I used to overtake cars on speed humps coming home from fishing at the local harbour. I'd love another, especially an SM but step daughter has too much of my old age money tied up in her house.
Kinda looks like it's still going, I dunno. Had a college roommate with a Peugeot that was made from 2 totalled ones, front from one, back from another, welded together between the doors. That one was pretty far gone, too. But it kept going.
Well... the glass on this side is still good.

Apparently not. Though it might not get far with a split in the side wall.
ReplyDeleteIt's a Citroen, it was too far gone when it was new.
ReplyDeleteHere,here!!
DeleteAh, you beat me to it. I once owned a different model Citroen, and was glad to be rid of it when I traded it off.
DeleteRoger that Anonymous, It was too far gone when it was built!!!
ReplyDeletewhat you talking about, it's barely broken in.
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I have driven cars that looked worse than that. And was thankful for them at the time.
ReplyDeleteCitroen's never die, they just rust away, truly great mechanical engineering on them.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot termite damge to the chassis. Yes, until the 1980s or so it was wood.
Delete@Anon7:02AM: No, they weren't. You don't know what you're talking about. For one thing, production ended in 1975.
DeleteI wonder what the interior smells like.
ReplyDeleteGoat butt soup.
DeleteNope. Not far enough. I can still see it.
ReplyDeleteIf the top looks like that, what sort of rust does the frame have?

ReplyDeleteThe driver might be too far gone to the left - but somebody can bring the car back.
ReplyDeleteIt never was "there" to start with.
ReplyDeleteAny idea what year this model is?
ReplyDeleteDS-19, Front Wheel Drive, Hydro-pneumatic suspension, Hydro power brakes and steering, Monocoque chassis (like an airplane).
