Motto?

That's right, yes!
I've been trying to get corroboration of that but I can't find any other pictures of this car, which is credited to Rocco Motto.
He did desig a few other 4CVs around that time so it is entirely plausible, although none of them look much like this one.

1 point to you.
Title: Re: Solved - NEH 3474: Renault 4CV prototype Motto - 1954
Post by: Carnut on May 01, 2017, 08:51:21 AM: New information has come to light which shows this design had nothing to do with Motto at all!
It is a 1954 proposal by Brissoneau and Lotz for a Rosier 4CV Barquette.
I'll change the title.
