Solved: PN #185 -- Brütsch Avolette, 1956

This is a chassis, but there were complete cars built. So please tell me as much as you know about this project for a point

That woman must be very tiny as she makes the 1956 Brütsch Avolette look very large.
This project apparently shows that the 1956 version has an articulated steering column. (as opposed to the previous year?  I don't know, my French is not that good)

looks rather similar to the photo in question, no?

of course, this material could be incorrect.  It would not be the first time the press has got it wrong!

Now I am intrigued...
I am curious as to what information you had that said this chassis was NOT a Brütsch Avolette?

Many years ago I received a bunch of photographs on a Czech microcar prototype. The two photos, showing the Brütsch Avolette chassis were among them. Well, obviously it's not a Czech microcar...
