Hello everyone. Me and my family just recently inherited my great grandpas 1929 Chevy. It has a new motor with about 200 miles on it. It’s a 5.7L V8. We currently aren’t able to get the car started but it is turning over and trying to start. We have replaced the spark plugs, battery, and put new gas in it since it had sat in his garage for about a year and a half. There is this start button on the inside and wanted to know if this is something that needs pressed while we are turning the key over?

Far away in a land of croissants, baguettes way before I graced the earth Citroën unveiled a stunner.

Citroën revealed the Citroën DS on 5 October 1955 at the Paris Motor Show or…or the Salon de l'Automobile de Paris. Said that with an accent by the way, looks like those Duolingo lessons are doing something. The Citroën DS caused somewhat of a sensation to the point where 12,000 people ordered the car. 12,000. By the end of the first day mind you. People looked at it and said hell yeah we want that. Don't blame them honestly I mean just look at the car. Citroën called the car DS, a play on déesse, their word for goddess……. who names a car goddess I will tell you who the French. The companion model was called ID, a play on idée meaning idea. A bit abstract isn't it, goddess, idea what's next.

Henri Chapron, the French coachbuilder in the stands at the show when the DS was revealed. He saw it and decided that he wanted to put his own spin on it. Citroën however would not give him the chassis. So Chapron took the only logical next step. He started buying complete production cars. He converted them and Citroën was impressed. Of course they were it's Chapron. I'm told he was well regarded in the car industry. They contracted him and the factory cabriolets were born. 1,365 were built between 1961 and 1978.

The DS21 Chapron had an enlarged 2.1 litre engine producing about 106 horsepower and the "famous" hydropneumatic suspension that made the car feel somewhat like a magic carpet ride. A magic carpet ride, what is this Aladdin. Anyway it was unlike anything on the roads in 1965 and honestly its unlike anything on the roads today, it was self levelling and height adjustable. I hope that excited someone. The standard DS was already a pretty sight but the Chapron coupe and cabriolet made it prettier. The roofline was lowered and the lines sharpened and the result was something that looked like it belongs in those old black and white French films where 2 people are insanely in love with each other but for some reason want to make everything so philosophical so they never really get together.

The Concorde coupe in midnight blue is a stunner, you will definitely stop and stare and the Le Dandy coupe is basically a wet dream for collectors and only 15 were made which means only one thing. They are going to be fucking expensive. The French make beautiful things clearly problem is though they become insufferable about it but then again doesn't everyone if they make something beautiful.

So the story here is they named a car goddess, refused to help the coachbuilder but the coachbuilder said you will not stop me (in a French accent) and made a better car, and now he has his name embroidered on a car. How wonderful.

Assuming that engine belongs to it, appears to be a four cylinder flathead. Struggling to identify it otherwise. The dash makes me think at least American, leaning towards GM. The remainder of the roof makes me think some sort of wagon. Struggling to find any four banger flathead Chevy wagons, nor Ford. What say you?

Most of the items in the park are surreal animals and machines assembled from pieces of scrap metal, but there is also this one car, a 1950 Buick Special.
