Difficult to find but never say never........

By Googling "chien au volant" I found it!
The car is apparently towing a caravan!
Charles Louvet was the man responsible?
Title: Re: JPG #169
Post by: João on January 06, 2012, 05:24:59 PM
And I'm glad you found it!

It's a Charles Louvet creation,a De Dion Bouton caravan! House,boat and dog  ;D

Is it a steam car ?

Post by: SACO on February 28, 2015, 03:07:50 PM
No !
You said De Dion Bouton by hazard ?
Title: Re: SAC#716 :Locked
Post by: oko94 on February 28, 2015, 04:55:22 PM
I haven't recognised that it was a De Dion Bouton. According to the bicycle-like wheels and narrow rear track, I thought that only a veteran car could have these features, and De Dion Bouton was a wild guess consistent with my theory.

!No guess for a De Dion with a new body ?
