I remember Mimi’s devotion to her dark blue mid-1950s Peugot 403 with the lion ornament on the hood. She liked to call it Poor Joe. In retrospect, I think the car reminded her of her time in France and Switzerland. Other than the color, this is what it looked like:
Mimi was a good driver and the car was reliable and comfortable. I know it took us on multiple ski trips. Some were day trips in New York State (Belleayre and Highmount) and Massachusetts (Catamount). There were also some longer excursions to New Hampshire (Jackson, Cranmore) and Vermont (Sugarbush) and Canada (Mont Tremblant).
