that incredible 1923 Avoin factory reserach race car from the Mullins Museum was graciously brought to the Art Center College Car Classic 2012, and it must have shocked a lot of spectators.

From the Zenith Carburateur company... I can see it says NORMAL on top, but I can't tell what the other two words are

I didn't take a lot of photos, because of the huge gallery I took at the museum, http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/12/1923-avoin-voisin-factory-research-race.html

a unique look at automotive design, the French car of 1934, Avions Voisin Aerodyne from the Mullin Museum

 Notice the roof is slightly slid back to let just the front seats get the sun

this Paul Poiret fabric interior is not unique among Avoins Voisin, the pink is from the C14 Charte posted on http://southsiders-mc.blogspot.fr/2010/02/avions-voisin-c14-chartre.html

this sliding roof with multiple windows... never seen anything like it

If you are interested in the unusual, the French, and the Voisin cars... strap in, and check out the fantastic variety and unique appearance of every single car I've posted that they've made. Nothing in common. No one has that much style anymore http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/Avoin%20Voisin

1923 Avoin Voisin factory research race car, the C6 Laboratoire, simply a most amazing innovative and obscure try at a racecar from airplane engineers

 Quite odd looking, maybe the strangest I can recall ever seeing

 Why it has a prop on the nose, I'd only guess that it's for airspeed. Boardtrackfan commented that he thinks its for a water pump

 and I was astonished to see it has the actual "Windscreen" that I've only heard of but never seen before

Click on the above gauges and get a good look at the full size... those are pretty unusual

 and a square-ish steering wheel... boardtrackfan reminded me that this isn't so uncommon, it's so the driver has a better view when driving straight, and more legroom

  here is the big indication of the aeroplane style engineering they brought to their race car... cable brakes. But not connected to the brake pedal, this is independant front and back brakes for a racing advantage

I just found this vntage photo of this car on Bubble Visor Blogspot

1934 Voisin C27 Grand Sport Cabriolet, coachwork by Figoni, featured in the 1934 Madrid Auto Salon, and immediately purchased by the Shah of Persia

beautiful wood, ostrich leather interior, and panels throughout the interior all the way up to the firewall

 Above are the essential photos that nail the beautiful colors, interior, and design, but I took a lot more, and why not put them here in case you want to see more?
