André Siames Electric Car

Published on

This electric microcar was built in 1954 by André Siames, an electrician from Boulogne-sur-Seine near Paris, who made it in his back yard as a hobby. The three-wheeler seated two passengers and was shown at the third Paris Gadget Exhibit in 1954.

It was reportedly powered by a 1 hp electric motor and had a top speed of 80 km/h. The original body had a big cyclops-style headlight and a huge roof hatch.
