This one of a kind car was commissioned by Andre Dubonnet to showcase his company's latest suspension development. Aerodynamics expert Jean Andreau created the streamlined styling, which was heavily influenced by aviation design. The interior even resembles the cockpit of an airplane. Built on a Hispano-Suiza H6B chassis, it is equipped with unusual parallel-opening doors for added distinction.
