A vast museum featuring vehicles dating from 1908 to 1985, including an elegant Torpedo built in 1908

This vast museum houses over 230 vehicles dating from 1908 to 1985, mainly cars and motorcycles, which can be admired as you stroll through several aisles, each dedicated to a different era, and whose walls and posts are decorated with numerous old enamelled advertising plaques. In the entrance hall, you'll discover an elegant torpedo built in 1908 in the factory of the Société de Construction Automobile de Reims (SCAR), which was located a few kilometers from the museum, in Witry-lès-Reims. Other models built during the first twenty years of the twentieth century evoke the dynamism of the automotive industry at that time. Their brands are sometimes forgotten or little known: le Zèbre, Benjamin, Chenard et Walker, Sima Violet, Cime... The 1930s saw the emergence of cars with sophisticated designs reminiscent of the Art Deco style. Here, for example, is a 1936 Panhard Dynamic with headlamp grilles, die-cast aluminum bumpers and hood flames. Cars from the 1950s feature a more fluid body style, as evidenced by the "pontoon" shape of the Delahaye 235. The Delahaye 180 armored sedan belonging to Jacques Duclos, one of the leaders of the French Communist Party, is also featured here, along with the Traction Citroën, the 2 Chevaux from the same brand, the Renault 4 Chevaux and the Peugeot 203. Fun fact: pedal cars, which copy the look of the cars on display, are featured alongside them.
