Baby-Brousse

The Baby-Brousse was originally conceived in 1963 by two Frenchmen, Messrs. Letoquin and Lechanteurin, owners of Les Ateliers et Forges de l’Ebrié, a company in Abidjan, the capital of the Ivory Coast.[3][1]

These had better build quality and equipment than others. 30,000 examples were built[12] (16,680 according to Marie & Étienne Christian).[4] The Pony was the only Baby Brousse exported to the United States. [13]
