r000 Maurice 19XX a. Julien Make was a very Model well qualified engineer, known particularly

for his work on the development studies of the Citroën Traction
offered without reserve
avant, which made its debut in 1934. He retired to Toulouse at the
beginning of the war, but during the occupation, materials, especially
gasoline, were very severely restricted, and Julien designed and built
pedal cars as did Georges Mochet with his velocars. In comparison,
however, Julien’s neocar was stylish and sleek, with its long hood,
sweeping fender lines, and double kidney grille. It was mechanically
more sophisticated than the average pedal car, as the front wheels
were driven by cardan shafts, it employed a limited slip differential,
and it used a derailleur, which permitted one or two people to pedal at
different rates. Due consideration was given to the control of vibration.
The last months of the occupation saw second generation motorized
versions in circulation. Finally, in 1944, the engineer had ready a much
more sophisticated car, a coupe, which was close to the one that would
debut at the 1946 Salon.

at the Paris Salon of 1946 were set
