BUCHET / FRANCE

The French BUCHET Motor car company   started in 1911 in Levallois / Seine near Paris.
The first cars were conventional pump- and through -lubricated automobiles with pedal-operated transmission brakes.
In 1919 they moved to Billancourt.
By 1924 they had ohv engines and better brakes. In 1929 they stopped the production.

Here you see an  original  1918 emblem still showing the two rivets to fix it at the radiator.
