This model is a bit too goofyΒ  for me despite being a very practical design. Theoretically, I know it could actually work as a 1:1 (and work well ).Β  Β Why were they built?Β  For dealers, racers?Β  How many were built?Β  Oh, those crazy Frenchmen!Β  πŸ˜€ πŸ™„ πŸ˜€Β

I found one that is even more 'goofy' (four doors) but it is being used to transport a very interesting car

@franklemireΒ  Yes, an interesting "couple"Β  for sure. Shelby would be proud, nonetheless.Β  The integrity of that French-built (I assume ) FWD frame is impressive!

@chris What I would really like is to find a photo of it transporting a French race car of the 1960's
