Reply To: Maigret

Cremer made 54 episodes from 1991 to 2005.

I too have been watching this series and have also been intrigued by the great variety of vehicles

I can’t date the non Citroëns but the Tractions all appear to be pre-war models and I did spot one post-war 2CV AZU.

Simenon’s novels were written between 1931 and 1972.  Various clues suggest Maigret was born in the 1890s and is understood to be in his late 40s in a number of the novels. That would tie in with pre- or early post-war timeliness.

I also note the police vehicles are generally Légères and not the 15/6s we associate with Rupert Davies.
