A find without the popular barn, excusez-moi: Mathis EMY 4 légère

The economic depression of 1930-33 hit France and thus the little car manufacturer from Strasbourg in Alsace hard. Little is known about the brand. So here is a brief overview.

Emile Mathis , who founded his company in 1910 after a planned project with his friend Ettore Bugatti failed to materialize, concentrated in these challenging years most of his efforts on developing a new model, the EMY-4 8 CV. It was presented at the Paris Motor Show in October 1932, had to contend with increasingly fierce competition from the Peugeot 301, Citroën Rosalie 8 CV and Renault Monaquatre and was marketed just before the company finally was reorganized under the brand name Matford.

At the beginning of 1935, the EMY-4 range consisted of the 4 S and Légère versions. These two benefited from some mechanical developments, the most curious of which was the gearbox, whose number of gears was reduced from four to three. The model survived the Mathis-Ford Société Anonyme Française merger and even carried the Matford name later from 1935 to 1936 until the EMY-4 was discontinued.

This poor neglected Lynx Eventer is definitely past its best.

This hood ornament on this Plymouth was a statement piece. I have always enjoyed photographing classic cars. They were works of art and I could only image the stories they could tell.

A little update: When we were running the engine up to temp to open up the cooling system (heater matrix etc) the car started running abit rough... abit rich to be clearer so we decided to give it a 'base tune'

Now all that we hope to achieve with this is a a nice idle thats not chugging fuel out the tail pipe. time for another trusty screwdriver... the bendy boy

So after running the car up to temp, my co worker took over as he has experience in setting this by ear, the general process we took was as follows:

Listen to the engine

With the bendy screwdriver adjust the mixture screw OUT to lean out the mixture until the engine revs drops.

When the revs drop adjust the mixture screw IN to richen it up till the rpm is smooth

Bring up the RPM and repeat until revving cleanly and not chucking (too much) fuel out the back

To be honest i was watching years of experience so even though i was listening and paying attention to the engine etc i do think this is something that is practiced.

The car needs a really good drive and a proper rolling road etc to tune it properly but this should help with getting in on and off ramps etc. very confusing as it was revving lean but smelling rich... mini's eh!

I always love driving old beater cars in videogames. It seems every other game out there makes you a drive an FTL super car but in the old budget rust buckets is where most of the hidden charm lies I tell you.

I'm actually soo embarrassed to post this cause idk the first thing about Starlight Express. But I listened to the cast recordings and the characters sounded fun so I wanted to draw what I think they might look like. I saw a few costume photos while researching the show but other than that I wanted to see what I could come up with on my own before I dive any deeper. The last one is Pearl, hope the others are self explanatory. So sorry if I'm like completely off base on these haha, I've never had to anthropomorphize a train before.

YappingDesign notes under cut:

-I actually can't stand Greaseball and making her a butch woman was the only way I’d get myself interested just barely enough to draw her once. Sadly drawing her has created a positive feedback loop which has made me like her. So that backfired.

-Her outfit is nonsense, I took football padding and stapled train parts (Union Pacific's DDA40X) and Elvis shit onto it. I just wanted to put her in something other than a t-shirt for now.

-For CB I kinda wanted to make him look like a trucker but also very cutesy; still trying to strike the correct balance there. I put his handbrake on his chest bc I think it could potentially be a funny visual. Headset for communication (I think those r actually his ears, I just wanted to make them look like headphones. I really should give him a hat...). (Btw I love CB slang so this guy was an instant favorite also I love how he's insane)

-Pearl is blue bc her name is Pearl which reminds me of the sea :) She has window panels on her top. Idk if she should be so robotic since she's not an engine, but since she's new and shiny I wanted her to look futuristic. Also why I gave her a bit of a retro-futurist vibe. Plus a racing suit just for funsies.

-Wanted to give her a girl-next-door vibe cause she's still trying to figure out who she is, but I think she should have a goth phase or something soon.

Okay yay I can go look at costume photos and fanart now. I will come back more educated soon.
