After you've rubbed your eyes and blinked a couple of times, can you name this extraordinary vehicle?

That would be the Reeves Octauto or Octoauto, however you want to spell it.

Yes, it would...a very imposing and magnificent automobile, isn't it?   The best website I've found concerning this car is www.oto6.free.fr/6roues/6rouesreeves.htm
 It translates into English fairly well.
Good work!

Here are some more photos, including the Sextoauto, an attempt to cure the handling problems of the Octoauto.  It didn't fare any better in the marketplace.
