After exploring the Reims-Gueux circuit, and after looking at some of the city, we headed to the Reims Musee D'Automobile. This was entirely due to a tip off by R-R's own 'Uncle Bryn' at the Gathering. What a place! Split approx 50/50 with pre and post war cars there are also some commercials, pedal cars a room full of models and quite a selection of two wheelers too.
Panhard Dynamic took my breath away.
1953 Promotional machine.

Late '50s one off built on Peugeot 403 underpinnings, and it won a Concours D'Elegance in Monaco!
One of two Stainless Steel Peugeot 504s, the other is still with Peugeot.
Some hopeless plastic cars.
R16 4 door saloon.
Delahayes
A pair of rear engined (Ford V8) 'cars of the future' designed by pre war GP racer Jean-Pierre Wimille before he was killed in a racing accident in '49
Highly recommended if you're in the area or passing through, it was signposted when driving into the city and is only a 15 minute walk from the Cathedral.
'Look at that heap parked under the tree'
