Historical<\/h4>

This vehicle was put into circulation in 1955 (Serial number 2377). It initially belonged to Ginestet coaches in Naucelle Gare in Aveyron (previous registration 690 BY 12) and was abandoned in a meadow.
Jean-Claude Esp\u00e9rou writes: \u201cFor years, Jean Ginestet, deceased today, who was a stubborn old original, refused to give me his 648 DP 103. With death in my soul, I saw him rotting in front of the entrance from his garage in the harsh climate of Naucelle (Aveyron). More patient and more intriguing than me, Jacques Vaisson made it the siege of it for many years and obtained that it be sold.\u201d
\u201cThe Isobloc 648 DP in the photo, saved at the last minute by Jacques Vaisson, is currently the star at La Vanaude which has magnificently restored it, but this vehicle was also the first sale of a new coach for the author of these lines … \u00bb
Jacques Vaisson writes: \u201cI actually met Mr. Ginestet so that he could transfer this 648 DP to CHB but without success despite the support of his daughters. The “good man” was special because he also refused to shelter or cover his vehicle because one of the window was broken following the fall of a brick that fell from a shed. The rain had begun its \u201cwork\u201d.\u201d
Then the Maisonneuve coaches, now Courriers rhodaniens (26) had recovered it and began to have it dismantled by Mr. Patrick Fournier, coachbuilder in Cornas (07130) in June 1992, at the request of Ren\u00e9 Maisonneuve.
This restoration having been abandoned, Ren\u00e9 Maisonneuve gave it to the Coach Museum and the restoration was carried out by volunteers from the association… It was inaugurated on the occasion of the 5th car festival in 2010.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
