Curiously, an almost identical car also
appeared at the 1955 show, called
the PB, for Pierre Brissonet, but it
was not seen again. Ydral motors
of 125 cubic centimeters (no
license required) and 175 cubic
centimeters (conventional
license) were to choice.
The car also featured
the rare Westinghouse
“Gyrostarter,” an inertial
starter system similar to
that used on helicopters.
a lever in the cockpit is
raised and held up for at
least 10 seconds while the
starter spins up to speed
with a whining sound rising
in pitch. The lever is dropped,
imparting the flywheel’s energy
to the motor via a clutch. It makes
for an interesting public display.
