SOLVED: Djetset #597 - Vuillet Coupe, Peugeot 403-based
« on: May 14, 2012, 05:49:37 PM »
Last one of this latest batch.

To gain a point, what is the name of this car, and what is it based on?
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

This is a (the?) 1960 Vuillet Coupe, based on a Peugeot 403.
According to one record, the creator, Andrea Vuillet, donated the car to the Schlumpf Collection - where it now resides.

Well done Bubenator, another point to you.

BTW, I was back at Schlumpf a few weeks ago, and the Vuillet is not currently being displayed; sadly.

Another pic.
I was hoping to glean a point for this one but like all the ones I know they get solved before reaching the Pros board..
