alsancle Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I was trying to remember where I saw that. Thank you for the link. As I pointed out in the pre-war car thread, the picture was taken at Hershey in the 1960s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustycrusty Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) "1930 Renault Nervastella. Equipped with a 4.2-litre eight-cylinder engine that develops 24 horsepower. This hunting car was ordered by Mr. Astor, owner of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. With colours inspired by the work of Salvador Dali." https://all-andorra.com/renault-tg-nervastella-yellow-version/ Further confirmation of the old saying that "Money can't buy taste."? Francisco Carrion makes the definitive I.D. in that Old Motor link, in the comments section.
