Anything to do with Rumpler?
"looks like a bit of German Rumpler influence"
This is what is written in my source too, but the car's author is certain and not him.
1924 French Bignan??
I'm really impressed!
This car was build around a '24 Bignan.
Locked for you for the rest...
Aerodynamics of this car was done by a Danish Engineer. Paul Forostovsky Jr.
It was a streamlined sportster with a 122 cid ohc 4.
That was quick! :o
Can I ask you how did you found it?
I took this photo from a magazine.
I found a fraction of an article in Special interest autos
Picture was missing though. So I guess I am heading to the casino now.
I am feeling lucky ;D
that is where I took these pics from.
Well done!
Please identify the builder of this unusual vehicle for a point. If you can add the donor, it will be an extra point
Experts?
Is it german?
no
I think I found it,was it built by paul forostovsky?
Yes, well found.
As it turned out this is a repost, so I will merge the two.
However in the original puzzle there's a mistake. It says Paul Forostovsky was Danish. Interestingly the 1924 magazine article also made the same mistake.
But the attached patent extract shows that he was Russian, who escaped to Norway and then went to North America. He was also active in France
Thank You! and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I'm sure you did, but AFAIK it's not celebrated anywhere in Europe..
