It's going to be a windy day.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

Is it French?

I'm not absolutely sure, but the picture was not taken in France.

I don't speak any French, but, if I can depend on Google Translate, this is a: Granchomme Propeller Buggy shown at the 1912 Brussels Motor Show.

Yes, that is all I know about it, too. I guess Monsieur Granchomme was Belgian, because the car was displayed in Brussels.

One more point for you.

The name is Franchomme, not Granchomme, I am sure

You are right, Gallica was wrong. The 1912 Revue aérinne also calls him Franchomme. I'll change the title.
