Product Description
[Amilcar CGS 3 Skiff 1925 (France)]
- Amilcar. It was a little-known French car company founded in Paris in July 1921.
- First public appearance at the Paris Motor Show in October 1921.
- Amilcar designed a small car called Boiturette in accordance with the legal regulations of 350kg body weight, two-seater, and maximum 1100cc engine to meet the 100 franc (annual) automobile tax class.
- Development of this type of car continued, and in 1924, the [CGS] model was born with a 1,074cc side-steering engine and brakes on all four wheels.
- CGS stands for [Chassis Grand Sport].
- In 1925, at the special request of a CGS 3 buyer, his car had a unique bodywork.
- To that end, the chassis was entrusted to Marseille-based coachbuilder La Fosseine.
- I don't know why the buyer chose La Fossaine modelers, but they knew the tricks to make most of the car body out of mahogany instead of sheet metal.
-For the front part, where the powerful 33-horsepower water-cooled engine generates heat, aluminum was used because highly flammable wood would not be fire resistant.
