Solved NIC#596 - Caron-Bouvot coupe under construction
« on: May 15, 2016, 06:56:14 AM »
This car has been a previous puzzle on this site, but I thought it would be interesting to solve in this form.

What is it?

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Not from the Grand Duchy.

I think it is the Caron Bouvot coupe based on Simca 8 mechanics

Very well solved! This is 1956 and the car under construction.

I'll leave it to the editors to decide if the puzzles should be merged.

Welcome to AP and your first point!

I prefer to see it as a separate puzzle as it's in a different form from the previous one.
I don't know how the other Editors feel though?

I'd say we should keep it separate and just add the link as reference: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2013-42/puzzle-478-solved!-caron-bouvot-sport-monopole/

You have linked it to the open car - this puzzle of mine is the coupe, and I think it's another subject entirely. Maybe it's not hyphened!

I've traced the puzzle which featured the completed car, and it's titled as just a Bouvot. I was under the impression that Caron and Bouvot always worked together, but maybe somebody could correct me on this. This is the link....
