* Old street scene photos tell us a lot about the way things used to be, and Shorpy, the old photo blog, is always good for a vintage street scene, such as this 1943 shot of a rainy day in Times Square by John Vachon. We immediately noticed the Checkers with their funky art deco grilles and landaulet bodies lined up along the street. Only one such example of that style of Checker remains in existence today.
* Spotted on Jesse’s blog, we had to find out more about the Citroën U55 Currus Cityrama from the film Zazie dans le métro. It seems Citroën built multiples of these stacked buses for sightseers and tourists in paris in the late 1950s and early 1960s, who didn’t mind being ushered about in such a typically post-war French vehicle.
* Looking like a homebrew version of the Fast and the Furious with more muscle cars, Clutch the movie (as opposed to Clutch the band, from which the movie producers seem to have nabbed their logo) seems to be in post production and headed for a release this summer. We’ll try to get our hands on a copy to see if it’s any good. (via)
* I need to brush up on my Japanese (okay, I need to actually learn a bit of Japanese) because the Nissan Heritage Collection just put up a new website. (via)
* And finally, not to subject you to too many Citroën-related links this week, but Garage Journal member lucajack2cv posted some incredible shots of the rebuild of his Citroën-housing garage, which is located in northern Italy, and the photos are worth seeing, if only to inspire dreams of your own old Europe-inspired garage.
