Let's Talk Cyclecars

Have we seen this one before?

 

Fred,​

In Shorpy's archive, it was titled as <<Washington, D.C., 1920. "Donnie Moore in Duesenberg.">>, from National Photo Company Collection glass negative, Library of Congress.
For me, a few things were interesting:

• the first size of car and driver (auto was quite big or driver quite small)
• and buildings in background (looked quite modern, especially one tall behind)...

In any way, photo is rare and full of period atmosphere!

now that's a very interesting chassis - you could bolt a low slung body on that

 

Hello Rolf,
It seems to me that such mechanics must have more courage than drivers?
I think that on the first photo is M.A.S.E. cyclecar from France... For the second, I couldn't be sure...









... and, something quite different, but still crazy: French cyclecar Villard/Colombe, front-wheel-drive three-wheeler!

Ciao,
Zoran

 

P.S: The second car was PEUGEOT Quadrilette 750 cc, baby-car...

Didn't they stuff 4 engines into that car at one point or was that a different car?

 

I think that was a differnt car.
