Pic of the Day 16th January, item B Voitures 1948 TdF

http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/album17/voituresjpg?full=1

New cars were still in short supply in 1948, so some prewar models were still doing service as team cars during the 1948 TdF. Image #1 shows an unknown prewar model (perhaps Citroen? Simca?)in use by Avanti Martinetti, team director of "Internationaux". Image #2 shows a '38 or '39 Matford V8 used by Maurice Archambaud, director of "France"... Martinetti's car is visible in the upper left corner. Image #3 shows a car similar to Martinetti's, here used by Julien Prunier of "Parisienne". Image #4 - another unknown vehicle, carrying Marcel Bidot of "Ile de France". From "Miroir Sprint" No.111, 5 July 1948.
