I don't know, but I suppose just before IIWW, so I guess 1938.

A couple of quick comments.

Hats off to Fabrizio for  his tenacity on this one and thanks to both of you for assisting me in expanding my "portfolio" of French commercial body builders.

Like most of us, I have good reference materiels on French auto body builders both in books and on the net but I had very little on the commercial side.

I followed every lead Fabrizio came up with and was able to link to lots of other information but just could not find that vehicle except that I did find the same photo but with no text.
