Alexander ◊ 2007-06-04 01:08	The mascot looks wrong for an Hispano-Suiza. Did it alter during the 1920s?
DynaMike ◊ 2007-06-04 01:26	I'm afraid I've been a bit too enthusiastic and too fast but it's right, the stork's wings should point downwards.
Alexander ◊ 2007-06-04 10:14	Let's put back to 'unknown' ... but I must say, the rest looks very close.
Yvon52 ◊ 2007-06-04 12:26	Me fait penser à une Voisin 1923 = à vérifier
DynaMike ◊ 2007-06-04 17:26	La mascotte des Voisins avait les ailes toujours en haut... I found it (in the book "Cent ans d'automobile française"): it's a mid twenties Farman, probably model A6B. The hood ornament isn't a bird, it's Icarus with his wax-glued wings. Cf: Link to "images.google.nl"
Yvon52 ◊ 2007-06-04 17:29	Tout à fait d'accord pour une FARMAN. Tout correspond.
Yvon52 ◊ 2007-06-04 17:37	Voici une A6 de 1921 = c'est presque le même modèle, mais c'est le même sigle. http://www.motorbase.com/profiles/picture/index.ehtml?i=1041994418
