CID BABY / FRANCE

CID that means:  Construction Industrielles Dijon.
Their best selling car was the BABY that had a one cylinder engine with only 8 hp.
The company lived from 1912 to 1914 only. You have to look years to find this emblem.

Very few CID vehicles have survived. But there was a drawing of a round CID emblem, which was made by the swedish boy Gustav Moeller back in the 1920s. Gustav lived near the ferry port in Helsingborg / Sweden and drew the emblems of the waiting cars there. What a great hobby that still helps and delights us a hundred years later:
