She had a Voisin touring car, given to her by the manufacturer and "learned to drive with the public watching every shift of gears"

That may not be right; I don't know your source for the quote, but I do know that Josephine's own Voisin was a coupé de ville on the long C3 chassis; The 'Lumineuse' pic is just a publicity shot, I believe.
