This car was offered on ebay and the seller contacted us for more info on the car. The ebay reservee was pretty high and we weren't really interested. The car didn't sell and after some months the seller contacted us again to see if we were interested or if we knew somebody else that would be. The price was discussed and the car became more interesting for us. A friend in California went over to the seller, shaved a bit of the price and the deal was struck. The car was put on the boat to antwerp where we picked it up.
Photos from ebay and the seller:
The car was sold in 1938 by the Challenger Motor Corp in Los Angeles California. It was build in france and very likely started it's life as a 11bl berline. Not much history is known, nor do we know who did the bodywork. If you have any info, please contact us.
