Needs restoration.  No low ballers.  I know what I got!

Yep.  3 lugs, sleeves pressed into a rectangular box just to be different, gotta be French.  Their frame is a little sketchy too .....  =~ )

53 minutes to ID the remains of a rare car found in the Virginia woods. The depth of knowledge on this forum is amazing!
