This is the pedal-powered Boneschi from 1946.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Interesting to mention is that the body was made out of imitation leather!
I have it as a 1940-41 car.

Six cars were built. (I have it from 1946, too)
A real cycle car as they took not only the wheels from bycycles. The tiny front lights were driven by bicycle dynamos.

My source reports that this was an experimental car made in 1940-41, in 'similpelle' (syntheticleather) with a Lancia fake radiator.
