There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Lovely car Ed and typical of the Georges Paulin style.
He did a series of similar designs for Marcel Pourtout on Talbot and Delage chassis, along with the outstanding 'Embiricos Bently and a superb Peugeot Darl'mat 402.
As an aside, Paulin was a leading member of the French resistance network 'Albi', along with several designers and coachbuilders, operating in and around Vichy.
The 'Albi' group were betrayed to the Abwehr by the Duexime Bureau in late 1941, Paulin being swept up in the net and executed in March 1942.
Some 450 people made up the 'Albi' network, all betrayed by their fellow countrymen who feared that the own espionage network with the Duexime Bureau would come to the attention of the Gestapo...........
