BUCHET / FRANCE

 BUCHET / PARIS / FRANCE  ( 1911 - 1929  )

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.

  Very few BUCHET vehicles have survived. But there was a drawing of the BUCHET emblem, which was made by the swedish boy Gustaf Moeller back in the 1920s. Gustaf 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:
