There is an article about this car in "L'Automobile" # 158 (June 1959). The rotating wheel in the front is the spare wheel that is fixed on a construction of tubes of molybdenum chrome. License plate number is 283 DX 21 (=late 1958, so m.y. 1959). The inventor was Jacques Gérin from Boulogne-Billancourt, who adapted this Dauphine for personel use. In 1922 he had built a car with propeller, in 1924 another one withe propeller, rear mounted engine and all-independant suspension. He also built two aeroplanes with variable wing surface ("Varivol"). |
