Not coachbuilt, AFAIK.
However, the car is French.

Nope. I'd suggest to dig into more obscure marques.

Based on your earlier comments, may I suggest it is a Chenard-Walcker.
Beyond that I have not progressed if that is correct, just the Citroen connection and the look of the radiator mask/grille.

Didn't someone just write something like "when all else fails, try Salmson"?

No. Not obscure enough.

Woohoo!! :o  :applause: :thumbsup: Nicely done!

Marcel Coadou built Ruby-engined cyclecar which was later modified to use Citroen B2 engine. The final streamlined coupe version of the car whose drawings are in Wendax's pictures was named Aerolithe. If it has survived until today, where is it now?

Thanks! If I had been aware of that car before, it would have fitted perfectly in my Brittany group puzzle.  ;D

Man!  It was hard to find, even when I knew the name!  :thumbsup:  Amazing stuff.  I had a little trouble getting a mental picture of how the car worked from the illustrations until I saw one more, which I'm attaching.  The site I found it on may keep me from doing any of the things I need to do today.  Like cleaning my house.   :yuck:

Great puzzle, great work solving it!
