Can someone confirm who bodied these cars? One of the Pichon-Parat cars was built on a GS chassis I think and as far as I know there were 2 or maybe 3 built as per the photo above. I've heard Esclassan and Chapron mentioned but I have no idea what is correct. Any ideas?

According to Renč Bellu there were 3, the Pichon-Parat bodied one and 2 more, chassis #90-001 (the puzzle car), #90-002 (the prototype used for tests) and the Pichon-Parat #90-003

I believe the first two were built by Salmson's own carrosserie......however they may have been finished by Esclassan.

I've just found this photo of the car of Andre Guelfi which crashed whilst taking part in the 1953 Rallye du Maroc. The French-language text states that it was bodied in aluminium by Esclassan.

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Two more pictures of this great looking car. Was it established that Esclassan built the body? I guess it is not longer with us judging by the picture above?
