1928 Amilcar Model CGSS Navigation
Amilcar was one of the most popular French manufacturers to arise after the devastation of WWI. The company's name was an anagram of its founders, Messrs, Lamy, and Akar, who took the design work of Edmond Moyet and brought it to the public.
For French auto enthusiasts in the 1920s, Bugatti provided the ultimate dream. However, for much less money, an Amilcar provided similar rewards. Amilcar delivered solid handling, stout braking, and an exhilarating top speed of 70 MPH. They were indeed sports cars, with all of the livery and exciting characteristics the name implies.
The CHSS (extra low) featured a 1,074cc engine, with pressurized lubrication and a three-speed gearbox. Bodies were provided by independent coachbuilders. Most were boattail roadsters, with features added according to the buyer's needs and wallets. They added expressive items such as windshields and papillon (butterfly) fenders. The entire restoration of this car was done by the owner.
