Thanks for watching!

Love the car and his incredible insight.
Cool thing he mentioned the optional axle gear ratios. Their construction is famous still today in racing and sports cars. Heard of the De dion axles?
My grandfather was the first in his town with a car, and it was a 1926 De dion Bouton. Now, two generations later, as the only family member being a true car enthusiast (prod car nerd) I wish we still had it.

Absolutely right - I heard de dion named over the years but had know knowledge of the history… now the more I learn, the more I appreciate.
Thanks for sharing your family history on the Bouton. It surely would be amazing to have now!
