Just cars, and what's in them. See below the backseat of that Clipper. Quite a mess. As to the history of this car, it is unknown. In France, Ets Barbezat was (well, were, since Ets stands for Etablissements, which is plural
) the official importer of Packards.
And indeed, as said, during the era (1940s and early 1950s), only a very limited amount of people could afford such cars. In fact, in France, you needed to have Sterling Pounds or US Dollars to buy such cars. French francs weren't good enough. This restriction was removed in 1953 here.
