I can't go to sleep giving returns to this puzzle, anyway very tipical of Wendax. I think I have it, it has to be another product of the extravagant A. MORIN  seller of drawings to build the Aerocar and designer of the Scotavia scooter and triporteurs. If I'm true it will be the second time that I make a point with a puzzle from Wendax related to Productions A. Morin...

Your sleep is well deserved, as it is a creation of André Morin. Just add its name and the point is yours. Locked for you of course.

Hard question, as I don't have any source except Internet. As the front is so higth could it be a precessor of the VUL desing of SOVAM? Or the name refers to the type of body?

Wendax

It is not as hard as you might think. It is a one-word name including the builder's name. And the only source I have about this car is an internet site.

Being French the name should end in "ette", I have tried "andreette" and there has been no luck, but when trying "martinette" yes, I have found it and also with an interesting story and good photos some of which I attached.
However I have a doubt, the André Morin of this story does not seem to be that of the Aerocar, Scootavia, Sovam and others because it seems that he lived in the area of Toulouse, far from Paris and did not have a vehicle construction license, therefore It shouldn't be the same person ...

Wendax

You certainly meant Morinette, not Martinette.  ;)
I didn't check where the Aerocar-Morin lived, so it may be a strange name coincidence.

Sorry Wendax, I really think I wrote Morinette in my original Catalan writing but since I have to use Mr. Google's help as a spell translator  I think Mr. Google wanted to improve my writing with his knowledge in the cloud. As for the identity of Mr. André Morin de la "Morinette" it is so curiously coincidental that it seems that he turned 90 years old around 2015 and the most famous of Scootavia and Sovam was born in 1926 and therefore turned 90 years old in 2016. However, the characteristics of the "Morinette" cannot be compared with the accomplishments of the prolific son and with high level technical knowledge, I hope someone can clarify this issue.
Anyway, it is always an interesting challenge to solve your puzzles and I thank you for the point despite my mistakes.
