For anyone not familiar with AUC, it starts with the founding of Rome in 753 BC. So this would be ~1950 CE.

Cheers for making me learn a new year numbering system.
Oh good. Now that I don’t have any luck using CE with the locals, I’ll have less luck using this. Cheers.
Huh, I didn’t realize rooftop car tents were that old. It seems like they just became a popular thing only a few years ago.
I was thinking the same thing about the gentleman’s trousers.
Uncertain as to the location, but apparently the car is a Citroën Traction Avant.
An early one, a 7 with the smaller engine I believe (the difference is in the rims). If I’m right this puts this picture as pre-ww2 because the 7 was very quickly replaced/followed by the 10 and 15. Numbers are “fiscal horses", the amount of taxes to pay being relative to the size and power of the engine.
It’s always fascinating to me how car aficionados can pick out details like that!

No, it just means this car was manufactured pre-WW2.
What if you roll around in your sleep?
Then you’ll be taken for a… ride.
Damn, that post war Citroen suspension would make for some wild sexy times in that tent …
AD… hmm, yeah, I guess Citroën didn’t start making the Traction Avant till’ after baby jeebus was born.
2703 AUC
I can’t figure out that ladder placement. So you have to climb up the ladder, and then tiptoe balance your way to the side to get into the tent? I’m guessing they gave up on that and just stepped on the car door instead.
You open up the front. There is a zipper at least on the left side - most likely on the other side too.
I would get one
I could live there.
