Jouef road vehicles
To have loads for the different car transporter, Jouef manufactured some road vehicle models in HO scale.

The headlights and rear lights are a touch of paint.The body is glued to the frame and there are no windows. The fully functional wheels are in white plastic. The rims are red painted, thus replicating the white tire sidewalls which was very fashionable in those times. Markings under the frame are the reproduced model, the marking Made in France
