Some old timers were at the hotel we stayed at in the Dolomites. I think a warmer day was expected since it was summer. I woiuld have gotten more and better pics but we had a bus to catch to head into town.

A lot of the cars post war in Europe had low power engines. That was pretty low even then. Although the Renaut 2CV was rate around 9-10 hp.
