La Ford Motor Company of Canada a été fondée en 1904, un an après la création de la marque aux Etats-Unis. On y a produit dès l’année de son inauguration des voitures, puis aussi des camions. C’est le cas de ce modèle vu en 1951 sur le Tour de France cycliste, aux couleurs de la société Dissoplast connue pour sa colle à rustines. Cette réalisation Perfex est un tirage à 250 exemplaires.

Checker started to produce taxis from the beginning of its activities in 1923 until it shut down in 2010. The famous Marathon was released in 1960. This UPS version was used in Canada from 1975, where legislation prevented this company from using its trucks. This explains why some of these Marathons had only one seat, for the driver (it is not the case here).

Most of the post-war Barkas history, a brand of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) is linked o this small model, the B1000. Available in van, pick-up, minibus and many other variants, it was produced practically without any update from 1961 to 1991. Here, the B1000 is accompanied by a small Schwalbe motorcycle, produced from 1964 to 1986 by the East German brand Simson.

This very classic 2 or 4-door three-box family sedan was introduced in November 1974, immediately followed by an estate variant, called the Panorama. The full name of this Fiat is 131 Mirafiori, named after the factory that manufactured it, near Turin. This rally assistance car is a 131 Panorama Mirafiori CL of the first series, produced before 1978.

Ford's French subsidiary was created in 1916. Located in Poissy near Paris, this company was sold to Simca in 1955, which produced the Trianon, Versailles and Régence, three models designed by Ford. This 1950 Type C 598 truck was transformed for the Tour de France publicity fleet for VAP, a brand that sold motors for electric assistance for bicycles.

Before the 201 was launched in 1929 and established the brand trademark (three digits with a central 0), Peugeot used different names, beginning with the Type 1 in 1889. This boat was based on the 177, released in 1924. Although equipped with a propeller, this vehicle was not amphibious. It was built to promote Peugeot's maritime subsidiary.

Ford's French subsidiary was created in 1916. Located in Poissy near Paris, this company was sold to Simca in 1955, which produced the Trianon, Versailles and Régence, three models designed by Ford. This 1947 truck wears the colours of Pinder, a circus created in Great Britain in 1858 and settled in France from 1904. This refrigerated truck reproduced by Perfex is limited to 250 pieces.

Ford Motor Company of Canada was founded in 1904, a year after the brand's birth in the USA. Cars were initially produced there, and then trucks as well. This is the case with this 1947 model year, which wears the colours of Pinder, a circus created in Great Britain in 1858 and settled in France from 1904. This barrier holder truck reproduced by Perfex is limited to 250 pieces.

Between 1957 and 1972, the Japanese manufacturer Daihatsu produced a mini 3-wheel vehicle called Midget. A second series followed, but much later: this 4-wheel Midget II, produced from 1996 to 2002 and only available in Japan, is less than 3 meters/118 in-long. This pick-up version of the Midget II bears inscriptions and sponsor stickers of the French Grand Sambuc circuit.

The result of an agreement between Citroën and Fiat, the C35 is released in 1974 and called 242 by Fiat, responsible for production. For Citroën, the C35 comes in support to the antique Type H. Its facelift in 1980 includes large turn signals. Here we have the removal vehicle version of the first model, registered in Paris in 1975.

Contrary to what its name suggests, Bedford, created in 1930 and defunct in the late 1980s, is not a Ford brand but belongs to General Motors. This van was released in 1969 in Great Britain under the name Bedford CF and was part of Vauxhall’s range, but was also known in Germany as the Opel Blitz from 1973. This version is equipped by Morrison for the company Hockings Dairy Cream Ices.

The English model car brand Oxford is a specialist of the replicas of the Land Rover, renamed Defender in 1990. Here we have a Land Rover Series IIA, launched in 1961 and succeeding the Series II released in 1958. On this 1967 model year, the headlights moved from the centre of the grille towards the fenders. Oxford reproduces a SWB chassis (88 inches) that belonged to the Royal Mail.

The GLR, introduced in late 1949, is the best testimony of the resurrection of the Lyon-based manufacturer Berliet after WWII. This 8M version received a diesel 8-litre 5-cylinder engine nicknamed “Magic”, named after the injection system that MAN invented in 1958. This IXO diecast truck is a 1960 model year, wearing the colours of the sparkling water company Perrier, founded in 1903.
