Bucciali

Built by the brothers Angelo and Paul-Albert Bucciali, the company's first vehicle, produced at Courbevoie, was a cyclecar, sold under the name Buc.

[1] Another innovative concept, which would only become familiar to most auto industry observers several decades later, was provided by the Sensaud de Lavaud infinitely variable automatic transmission.

[2] The car was exhibited on the Bucciali show stand in bare chassis form, enabling visitors to study the FWD drivetrain with its enormous transversely mounted transmission, as well as the all-round independent suspension.

[note 1][1] The car at the show sat on a 3,470 mm (136.6 in) wheelbase and was powered by a Continental side-valve 2.4-litre engine.

The black Bucciali that still exists was rebuilt by Bruce Kelly with the help of Robert LeMire at Lake Country Classics in Saint Paul Minnesota.
