We pleaded and begged and threatened, but nothing we could do would induce the Gawker Overlords to buy us the Carrera Panamericana '54 Lincoln for use as the Official Jalopnik Staff Car. We were brokenhearted, but all will be forgiven if the Overlords buy us this 1938 Peugeot 402, enabling us to roll up to events in the style we must have in order to make the proper impression. East Bay-based Fantasy Junction wants just $295,000 for this achingly beautiful machine, and that money might help them build a new LeMons car to replace their crushed Mazda 626, so it's a win for everyone!
