Vincent Juvenelle found a photo of a bizar unidentified sporty Citroën(?): "This car, probably a one-off, was the car of Roger Le Flanchec, a french architect who created interesting homes like this, which still is in use. The photo was taken between 1945-1950 in Trebeurden, France. If someone has any information..."

Editor: Let's take a closer look at the bizarre coupe. The radiator looks similar to a pre-war Rosalie, but then the wheels do make us hesitate. The further outline of the car suggests more like a two door Traction Avant but at the same time we know our car has a wheelbase which is a lot shorter. 

UPDATE by editor:  the modernist car seems much older than we thought. Lots of pictures here, but no information as to which chassis and engine are involved.
