You are very close. One letter in the name is wrong.
I'll accept the year as I have 1956, as I can't exclude that it was built in 1955 already.
But it has a model name, not just 'voiturette', which just means 'small car'.

It's a 1956 Calox 24cc (That's the model name?)

Calox is correct, and those two little girls are breath-taking.

The 24cc refer to the 24 cc engine that propels this little beauty.

But it has a proper name (little hint: it is an animal name).

Locked again until your next reply (because of the girls  :D )
