This one should be the 10A Luxe, shown at the 1919 Salon together with the 6A Serie. Both electric, 45km/h, 120km without charging the 42-element battery.

You kill me.
I had no idea about the model myself. Do I add it in the topic tile?

I had a 50:50 chance to be right:  ;D

1- I found a pic somewhere with the '10A' name long ago (ok, it's not a proof).
2- A reliable source (a french magazine) has got the same pic and the additional info I wrote, and also: "En effet, il s'agit d'un vaste véhicule proposé en deux types: 6 A Séries sur un empattement de 310cm et 10 A Luxe de 350cm, dont les prix sont très éléves (jusq'à 55000 F pour le chassis nu 10 A)".

I just thought that the only pic available had to show their top vehicle...

It clearly is a big car, so it makes sense to me.
