This old Citroën Auto store is on 3rd Avenue by 5th Street in Gowanus. Kevin at Forgotten NY explains that "Citroën Auto abandoned the U.S. market sometime during the 1970's, though it still sells a lot of cars in Europe. The French auto maker incorporated in 1919 and introduced front wheel drive with the Traction Avant in 1934. It is now a division of Peugeot. Founder André Citroën's family was Dutch and his surname means "lemon" in Dutch; his family actually were fruit sellers in Amsterdam."
At 11:59PM on June 10, 2023 the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to the 12800 block of N Encinitas Av for a reported auto fire.
Firefighters quickly extinguished a well involved, small vehicle at a gas station with no injuries reported.

Auto da Gamela
Cia de Teatro Finos Trapos – Bahia
Teatro
No sertão baiano, de forças mÃticas e miseráveis, uma camponesa e seu marido esperam a chegada de um filho: Francisco, o novo Cristo. Como manjedoura de sua chegada à quela terra de ninguém, está a gamela. Vindo pelas mãos de santa da mulher aparadeira, o menino recebe a visita de Três Reis Magros da Caatinga, que lhe presenteiam com enxada, candeeiro, alavanca, foice e viola. Dias depois, o menino já sente as dores da vida levada no sertão esturricado e seco. Seus males apelam a cura dos milagres de Nossa Senhora dos Verdes, que nada pode fazer, apelam a conhecimentos curandeiros da benzedeira da região, que nada resolvem. E de fome morre o menino Francisco, que tem seu enterro de anjo feito por seus pais e parentes, embalado por incelenças, vadeios, fé e cachaça.

Production years and serials data for estimating the manufacturing year of this camera is from Ihagee
Ihagee Kamerawerk is well known due to the famous Exacta cameras.
Before WW2 Ihagee produced a vast range of folding cameras with the name Ultrix.
Principal Ultrix models:
*Ultrix (1923) standard first model
*Ultrix-Duplex Nr.1560 (1924)
*Ultrix-Simplex (1924)
*Ultrix-Automat Nr.1250 (1925)
*Auto-Ultrix 6x9cm. Nr.2860 ( 1931)
*Auto-Ultrix mit Plattenrückwand Nr.3860 (1931)

*Auto-Ultrix-Junior (1935) Simple version of Zweiformat-Auto-Ultrix Nr.2860
Too many varieties of lenses and shutters were used on Ultrix series. The shutters usually from Gauthier, like the Ibsor, Vario, Pronto and Prontor. The lenses labelled Ihagee Anastigmat. But Ihagee never made any lenses of their own, they were all bought from several lens makers. It is possible that the glasses may have been mounted by Ihagee.
Ihagee folders seem to have died with the WW2 and have been forgotten, even among Exakta collectors. more info: Peter's Ihagee page , Sylvain Halgand Collection
N°82930
The race list of Talbot-Lago T150 C number 82930 is a comprehensive list of racing. Evocative names, famous circuits and colorful owners make up ist thoroughbred history. This car participated in 28 Grand Prix and it competed at Le Mans no fewer than four times. It has covered the dangerous, gruelling yet scenic 1,000 mile journey of the Mille Miglia on five separately occasions. It has been driven by some of the greatest drivers the sport has produced : Cadot, Chiron, Chinetti, Bradley, Levegh. It has fought for victory on the world's most famous circuits. Names that are as famous now as they were 50 years ago. Names such as the Nürburgring, Silverstone, Donington and Le Mans.
Chassis number 82930 was built to be driven by works driver Jimmy Bradley, the son of the respected Autocar journalist William Bradley. In the event the factory were persuaded to sell the car to the wealthy financier Francisque Cadot. The car was delivered in time for him to campain it in the AFC Grand Prix. The factory later decided to take the car back and display it on the Talbot-Lago stand at the Salon de l'Auto in October 1936. After the show the car regained its liberty. Chinetti, the crew chief of Francisque Cadot, set up a racing team. He later went on to become the first official Ferrari importer into the United States. While still independent, Chinetti's team retained strong links with the factory's works team. This "Team B" raced both 82930 and its sister car 82932. The factory asked Chinetti to represent him at the 1937 Mille Miglia. At this time the car had the chassis number 82933. Customs paperwork was required for the race, and 82933 was not an official works car. The factory therefore, renumbered 82933 as 82930 the chassis number the car still wears today.
The car was campained superbly until the breakout of war, taking part at Le Mans in 1937. It was driven by the great French driver Chiron, a man who's stature is unparalleled in Grand Prix racing and is highly regarded even today. Not content with racing just once at Le Mans, the car went on to compete again in 1938 and in 1939. It was raced at the Spa 24 Hours, and participated in the gruelling Liege-Rome-Liege rally in 1938.
From the end of 1938 though the end of the 1946 season, the car was raced almost exclusively by Levegh. The real name of this extraordinary driver was Pierre Bouillon.
International racing was stopped during the war. In 1945, 82930's second and equally illustrious career began. With its modified body, factory allocated chassis number and brilliant drivers. 82930 helped disquise the harsh reality, and demonstrated the promise of a strong future.
In 1949 the car participated in the first Le Mans 24 Hours since the end of the war and campained successfully in a series of French Grand Prix. By 1950, 82930 was allowed to recuperate. During this time the car went through the hands of a few French owners. Among them was the colourful Raymond Reynier. He was given the ironically nickname Picasso. It was stemmed from the dedication and respect with which he personally applied the racing numbers to 82930.
In 1983 the car was sold to its first English owner Charles Howard who later sold the car on to Dan Margulies. These enthusiastic owners brought the car back to racing all over Europe.
The car now is in a ready to race condition and has a lovely patina from an older restoration but was always maintained carefully.

Because of … Passions
Last trip to Tokyo was really amazing, 6 days of stay filled with passions and friendships, imagery and life. Because of the love of Moleskine, I met again 2 Japanese friends whom I met 4 years ago and had some interesting intellectual discussions. Because of Traveler's Notebook's aesthetic, I explored the area of Nezu and found inspirations. Because of Mijonju's love of all things camera, I met auto half legend Ryu Itsuki san and his friend Nakamura san and explored the area of Isumi city. Because of my dream job at city'super, I got chances to roam in realms perhaps only a few can do.
A life without passions is a life not worth living for. So where is your passion? Don't be a shadow , don't be a machine, stay hungry, stay foolish.
