There were similar cars in the States too...

Crosley-related ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #30 on:** December 23, 2015, 12:23:09 PM »

Nope...they key is another.

oko94 · « **Reply #31 on:** January 03, 2016, 07:18:02 AM »

Is it fitted with an American engine ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #32 on:** January 03, 2016, 07:23:46 AM »

Nope...

Am I right if I say that the puzzle car doesn't share any component with an American car, but is similar in its design to some American car ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #34 on:** January 03, 2016, 07:33:38 AM »

Big clue: not at all in its design. More in the way they were built...not kit cars but.....

oko94 · « **Reply #35 on:** January 03, 2016, 09:03:51 AM »

Partially built car that had to be finished by its buyer ?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #36 on:** January 03, 2016, 12:57:24 PM »

Not just finished...but I think you got the idea.

Wendax · « **Reply #37 on:** January 03, 2016, 01:03:04 PM »

Did the buyer get just the plans and had to do the rest by himself?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #38 on:** January 03, 2016, 01:14:26 PM »

Yes, in a certain way.

Wendax · « **Reply #39 on:** January 03, 2016, 01:17:20 PM »

From a magazine like "Système D" or "L'Automobile" (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=29348.25)?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #40 on:** January 03, 2016, 02:46:10 PM »

Exactly, from one of those.
Locked for you.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #41 on:** January 07, 2016, 10:20:50 AM »

The answer is in one of the magazines you mentioned in your reply...available online too.
There are plenty of details there, but I just need the builder's name.

Wendax · « **Reply #42 on:** January 07, 2016, 12:18:17 PM »

Still stumped. Is it from "L'automobile"?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #43 on:** January 07, 2016, 03:54:47 PM »

not that...

pnegyesi · « **Reply #44 on:** January 09, 2016, 06:47:50 AM »

still locked?

Wendax · « **Reply #45 on:** January 09, 2016, 07:10:07 AM »

I couldn't find a Système D archive, so feel free to unlock.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #46 on:** January 09, 2016, 07:16:00 AM »

Just the name is mising: Mr. Xxxxx Xxxxxx
There is a 6-page article in a '52 issue of "Système D" magazine.

Open to all.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #47 on:** January 09, 2016, 01:39:44 PM »

David Boyer?

oko94 · « **Reply #48 on:** January 10, 2016, 08:45:56 AM »

Système D, issue 76, april 1952. It's for sale on different websites but unfortunately only the cover (with a drawing of the puzzle car) is visible. And, no, I won't buy it just for the sake of scoring a point !

Wendax · « **Reply #49 on:** January 10, 2016, 08:59:47 AM »

That is just about as far as I have got.
