Post by: Paul Jaray on April 20, 2010, 03:20:53 AM: Sorry Ray, I filed the pic under a wrong name (Cognet-De Seynes) instead of the right one, Coadou et Fleury!

You are right, and this was a quite hard one!
2 points for you!

Post by: Ray B. on April 20, 2010, 03:51:35 AM: Sure. Coadou said that, at high speed, they provided an "air mattress".

Nope. I'd suggest to dig into more obscure marques.
Title: Re: Arunas' #537
Post by: Bill Murray on November 12, 2012, 12:53:23 PM: 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.

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?

Post by: RayTheRat on November 13, 2012, 04:56:20 PM: 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!
