1939 Matford, joint venture between French maker Mathis and Ford (i'd never heard of it before yesterday!)

The Matfords were a joint venture between French maker Mathis and Ford. They came with either V-8/60 or V-8/85 power.

Frank in the Netherlands needed help identifying this car, what make model and year? Chrisoncars.com knew immediately what it was! Power of the WWW!!

It has a unique hood ornament that isn't in the Hood Ornament ID Guide http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/08/hood-ornament-identifiaction-guide.html

Chris http://chrisoncars.com/ knew exactly what this was

Hi Jesse,
The mystery car on your blog is a ’39 Matford. The Matfords were a joint venture between French maker Mathis and Ford. They came with either V-8/60 or V-8/85 power. I think this one would’ve been a 60 car. There are photos of other Mathis cars that have a more ornate grille. Those probably got the 85s. How I know this shit, I have no idea.
Regards,
Chris

I found a cool website, Mega Moto... I think you are going to love the variety and unique things they post there, here's a sample

the cool tagline of Mega Moto is : Cars, Trains, Motorcycles, Planes, Airships & Other Awesome Modes of Conveyance

A WW1 mobile carrier pigeon coup... yes, that was the best communication technique they had available in the field of battle .

I've posted somehting about this before, and just can't recall what... beyond there was just one that made it through the years and still exists, was a 1920's car but only on 2 wheels, the little buggy wheels are for holding it up at stops

Buckminster Fuller's Dymaxion, one of two to survive, probably number 3 of the trio Fuller made. One was found in the backyard of a Arizona suburb in the early 70's by a Car Life reader after they did a story on the Dymaxions, by a fan of Fullers interesting cars. It wasn't bought by a collector, though Harrah's buyers tried, a couple college students got money together and then let it be shown in Museums in the US... more on this story in another post.
