LA BUIRE ( 1904 - 1930 )
LA BUIRE ( 1904 - 1930) located in Lyon / France was a typical french car maker with local relevance only.
Nevertheless they exported quite a lot of cars to England.
The first BUIRE cars had a brass emblem only (1904 - 1905 ).
Later there was a round enameled emblem on the radiator showing the coat of armes of the town Lyon, a lion, and the silhouette from an early automobile.

It was not easy to integrat the LA BUIRE radiator with extremly extented filler neck in my exposition....
 |
| the extented filler neck was used in races to prevent loss of water when boiling |
