Indeed nobody guessed right.

We received several attempts to guess the make of car that belonged to gracious art-deco radiator/hood mascot bird. But as we expected nobody came up with the make Christiane Huit. A brilliant, presumably one-off from the aviation engineer Andrieux from Rennes, France. He was a friend of Gabriel Voisin and Ettore Bugatti. The Christiane Huit is a unique car with it's straight 8 in line and a patented braking system that is also in use in aviation. The make existed just in 1928. Probably this car is the only one that exists. The car has a very happy Dutch owner now.(foto Autmuseum Deventer, Netherlands)
