The Butterosi was a French automobile manufactured between 1919 and 1924[1] in Boulogne-sur-Seine, just 8.2abbr=onNaNabbr=on west of central Paris,
The car featured a side-valve four-cylinder engine of 1327cc (12 HP) and sat on a 26001NaN1 wheelbase. Three different body styles were offered - a two-seater roadster, a tourer and a closed saloon.[2]
The Butterosi was not held in universally high regard: in his book French Vintage Cars, John Bolster writes "Some people think all vintage cars are good, which only proves that they have never owned a Butterosi!".
In addition to assembling its own 12 HP model, Ponderosi was the French importer for American Mitchell cars from Wisconsin.[3]
