\"Citro\u00ebn<\/a><\/p>\n

Everybody knows R\u00e9tromobile. As I was leaving Boston the TSA inquisitor asked the purpose of my trip to Paris. “R\u00e9tromobile,” I replied, and was waved into line for my MRI scan with a smile.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9tromobile<\/a> is, of course, Euope’s premier old car event, held annually in February at Paris Expo at the Porte de Versailles. The 38th edition will open on Wednesday. This year the feature car is the Citro\u00ebn DS<\/a>, first seen at the 1955 Paris Salon. The show will also observe the 50th anniversary of thePorsche 911<\/a>, the 30th of the Peugeot 205<\/a>, and host a tribute to the Shelby Cobra<\/a>.<\/p>\n

R\u00e9tromobile is known for limelighting unconventional cars. This year’s example is H\u00e9lica<\/a>, Marcel Leyat’s propeller-driven automobile. And just for good measure, a Mirage Jet<\/a> will be parked out front, to be auctioned on Friday, February 8th, the day Paris auction house Artcurial<\/a> holds a motor car auction.<\/p>\n

The show runs for five days only, Wednesday through Sunday, February 6th to 10th. Hurry on down! It’s an easy ride on Metro<\/a> line 12.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
