This
chauffeur is proudly standing in front of his Voisin C7 Lumineuse.
With a
small 4 cylinder engine, rated 10 HP in France, the C7 was available from 1924.
The "Lumineuse" body was created in 1925 and was very innovative by
many aspects:
- the
lightweight construction with aluminum panels
-
The
sliding windows- A third headlight mounted on the right side and at the rear of the body. The idea was to improve the driving condition during night without dazzle other drivers.
The result
was this Art deco style body that was sold quite well.
