This looks to be a very curious car. Recently discovered in Switserland, the 1948 T87 was taken off the road in 1955, stored dry and serviced till this very day and occaisionally taken for a short drive on Swiss garage plates. Still in a pretty good condition with its iriginal interior, the car was customised / modernised in the early fifties with fat (American?)bumpers and additionally chrome. Remarkably is that the third headlamp is missing. Reason is that Swiss law after the war did not allow a central headlamp, as it could be mistaken by a rail vehicle by other motorists. The Swiss importer therefore removed all central headlamps on newly imported T 87.
