PAssy-Thellier cars were built between 1903 and 1907 in Seine, not a 7-letter maker, but also known as Mendelssohn because E.G. Mendelssohn, one of the directors, was of the same family of composer Felix Mendelssohn.

pnegyesi · January 02, 2012, 06:56:27 AM

That's why I asked about the Mendelssohn connection

neilshouse · January 02, 2012, 07:08:41 AM

I have a 7 letter name for this car, although there is very limited information about it and I'm not 100% sure that the name is correct, (the name does translate to an advertising term) and there are no references online or in any of my books just the picture and a small article in an old magazine, although the article was written by a recognised authority on vintage cars.

The address given on the advert for the car is the same address as Mendelssohn & Cie and Passy-Thellier so it seems as if it is either a re-branded Mendelssohn or a Passy-Thellier.

I'm not really sure what to do with this one, whether to reveal the car and give points to pnegyesi and PJ, or see if anyone has any ideas/information?

I would never have guessed Passy-Thellier without your question and I do not deserve a point becaue I just expressed your guess in a different form.

I have decided to post the complete image for this one, has anyone heard of a Réclame?

I don't know if it's mistranslation but I've found a Reclame coachbuilt by Van Rijswijk carrosserie

Wendax · March 31, 2012, 04:13:51 PM

'reclame' means advertisement in Dutch

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2014, 08:30:59 AM

According to a couple of sources, there was a French car called 'Schmidt' from Paris...

Wendax · August 11, 2016, 05:08:24 AM

That line just refers to the imprimerie, i.e. the printer.

neilshouse · August 11, 2016, 11:48:34 AM

A forgotten puzzle.

I'm not sure what to do with this, it has me puzzled which was not the plan!

Here is a scan of the original text from the magazine... Who gets the point, or is this still a mystery?

Réclame means advertisement in French as well.
