22 "In France, in past, you had along the roads "Plaques MICHELIN" who indicated the different directions and the kilometers. For our Museum, we built 4 "Plauses MICHELIN" and our Dunkerque en Torpedo's President Michel FAYENS decided to put some "Clins d'oeils" for evybody. For example, here it's a clin d'oeil for all the english tractionnistes who came to Dunkirk for this big event." Patrick Verheecke |
23 "This wonderful car belonged
to Mrs MICHELIN. Michelin bouhth CITROËN on 15 december 1934
because the banks didn't believe in André CITROËN and
didn't accept credit for him. The banks gave credit (5O millions of
francs) to MICHELIN who could continue the Traction AVANT aventure. Patrick Verheecke
