Bentleybob70 solved Raymond de Baets Voisin 1924

[bentleybob]

Again, make, type year and by whom, please, for a point

[bentleybob]

And up towards the experts

[Craig Gillingham]

1926 Voisin C12 Chartula saloon?

[bentleybob]

It is a Voisin, but a different type etc.

[RayTheRat]

1924 Voisin C4S?

[bentleybob]

No, I think it is an earlier type.

[Craig Gillingham]

No, I think it is an earlier type.

This car appears to have the fuel tank located in the firewall, so that really rules out any of the Voisins before 1924, as well as the earlier types C1 C3 & C5.

[bentleybob]

OK, if you say so, but now who was the coachbuilder?

[RayTheRat]

OK, if you say so, but now who was the coachbuilder?

Raymond De Baets?

[bentleybob]

I wonder how you found that out

[RayTheRat]

I was looking for info on an electric truck and stumbled across the de Baets geneology site which was a little hard to follow...Google Translate isn't very good with Dutch - English translation, but it's better than nothing.  Seems like Raymond had a pretty "trying" life, yet lived to the age of 93.  He was a pretty resourceful gent.

Thanks for the point and congrats on your Pro status.
