Castle and car are not french.

But is definitly a very well known european castle and a very, very sinister car...  ;D

Steyr?

Wild guess time.  The "castle" (Schloss) is Schonbrunn Palace in Vienna (Wien...the closest I got to there was Salzburg in the late 60s) and the sinister car is a Steyr-Puch 50 built by slave labor under the the "command" of Georg Meindl.

Research on this has taken me WAY far afield from cars and puzzles.  I think I'm through with this one.

Yes, it is vienna - good work - but not pointworthy so far...

Another rare find from 1935. The text called it a "Smith" which should be just wrong...:
