Paris surprises in many different ways

People visit Retromobile Paris for the breathtaking  beauties. For the million sellers and all extravaganza you can think off. And it's indeed these last words which add to the strength of what in our view is the best show of Europe. Paris will surprise in all sections. In miniatures. In everyday cars. In bizarre finds. In a few words in all corners of this strange hobby which is about household machines that will get you from A to B.  (can you imagine a collectors show about fridges and freezers?). 
We found this little area dedicated to the work of designer Charbonneau who made some interesting studies in raisin and polyester. Aside a quite interesting Salmson convertible sports one of the other designs in particular drew our attention. Click this link to get the full picture, take a look at the rear end  and you will understand why. Why on earth would anybody like to change the brilliant simplicity of the avant-garde 2CV and add the most incredible 'bourgois' attire of the fifties? We can only guess about the motives of Monsieur Charbonneaux, unless one of you or a friend of the Musee  Automobile Reims Champagne will enlighten us.
