Some antique collectors just have a passion for history. They like to be familiar with and to know why an individual object was used, how Ä±t had been used or who applied it. They are interested by the obvious ways which the world and technology possesses changed and grown. By collecting objects on the past they feel like they are partially connected to a period in which they for no reason lived, is long gone but somehow still survived.

My parents bought me a 20″ Automoto model in 1955. I still have the picture of me proudly holding it up in front of the Christmas tree. Other kids in the Bronx NYC got Shwinns or Huffy’s but none could catch me on a long uphill climbs that make up the Bronx. Light durable and speedy it made me admire things French. It was one of the reasons I studied French in High School. I cared for the bike well and never forgot the name. One day I just tried a search and was shocked to see the green frame and red tires I had raced on appear on your website. Thanks for the connection..

I have also just come across an AutoMoto 3 speed, no wheels or seat.
Very light & graceful lines. Unfortunately seat stays detached
from frame due to rust. Any tips how to re-attach without brazing or weld. (shop wants $90 to look at it!)
Brake levers have plastic shrouds.
