An old picture of my neighbor’s house, but what is the little car in the front? Or even the dark car in the driveway?

A friend spotted this while vacationing in France. He said it has a Rally badge. I’m thinking old Bugatti???

I have 2 mystery car pictures, and 2 bonus pics.

Saw this lovely 2002 tii with euro plates leaving my job.

The first one is easy. Simca 1000.

The “bugatti” is probably an Amilcar of some sort.

The rally is a Bugatti Type 35, I’m going to guess it is a kit.

I think the black car in the driveway may be a Pontiac Tempest sedan. ‘62?

On the real ones the front runner (don’t know the actual name) on the bottom doesn’t bend upwards. It runs straight the entire bottom of the car.

yeah, not a real Type 35. Not even sure if it’s based on one. The radiator is curved not flat, and too many vents.

I do but I forgot about that one ;)

Also do you have any idea what the old Bugatti-esque car is?

It certainly ain’t no Bugatti, these had very different radiators. That radiator is a bit like an Amilcar. But these had the exhaust on the side where we see that spare tire.

the one in the driveway appears to be a ‘61-’62 Pontiac Tempest.
My brother had one, his first car at 16. These cars had a trans axle in the rear, and a tube enclosed driveshaft.
