The folks on another well-known forum are having trouble identifying this car from an old period photo. The setting is the town square at La Chartre-sur-Lois, and this image is an enlarged section of the photo. Personally I think it's a handbuilt Panhard-based special - does anyone know more?
I thought it might help if you could all see the original photo, which also gives a sense of proportional size. Come on AP members - our reputation is at stake. The other forum seem to think it will only be a short time before they get an answer from us.
Looks a bit like a DB-Panhard with an elongated front and back, though not quite an identical cabin..
A reworked Simca?
