It’s Friday, Oppo. Time to fly off into the weekend.

Can’t tell you about the car, but the airplane is a Caudron Simoun. Caudron started in 1909, and was a owned by Renault from 1933-1938. From Wiki:

The Caudron Simoun was a 1930s French four-seat touring monoplane. It was used as a mail plane by Air Bleu, flew record-setting long-range flights, and was also used as a liaison aircraft by the Armée de l’Air during World War II. The aircraft later was used as an inspiration to the famous Mooney “M series” aircraft by Jacques “Strop” Carusoam.

Apparently, F-ANRV was a real plane, too, first registered to Caudron/Renault Aviation on June 27, 1935 and owned by them until sold to Yugoslavia in September, 1937.

I thought it might be.  I did a cursory search for that registration but came up empty.

Looks close. Perhaps the artist took more liberties with the car than the plane. The plane is pretty accurate.

Great resource. Lots of Caudrons on that list.

For once, the car is prettier than the plane.
