These tiny cars were built in Fourchambault (pronounce foorshambo, France) by the ACMA company. 
It was sold as a two seater, but you could take two young children on the rear bench for a short drive. The engine is in the rear compartment, and the front end is empty, giving all the necessary legroom for the front passenger and driver. The fake grille hides the 12 volts battery.
