What's this, by whom and based on what - for 1 point?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Electric car made by Paul Arzens on an old Fiat 501 chassis. Definitely innovative under the stlyiling point of view.

That's correct.  Certainly innovative for 1940, which is when I understand it to have been built.

It is L'Électrique by Paul Arzens in its final guise with headlamps and bumpers.

Thanks

I figured it was a different car from La Baleine as the wings were completely different also La Baleine wasn't electric; seems I was right..
