Not Wills Sainte Claire

Wow, I wrote in a wrong way every part of that name...not so easy;
Is it perhaps a Doble?

ropat53 · « **Reply #5 on:** April 13, 2013, 01:31:00 PM »

Not Doble and it's not a steamer.

Juan Peron??
Bill

ropat53 · « **Reply #7 on:** April 13, 2013, 09:25:32 PM »

Not Perón and no connection with Argentina.

Craig Gillingham · « **Reply #8 on:** April 14, 2013, 03:05:47 AM »

Is it Louis Delage?

Any connection with the Farman brothers ?

ropat53 · « **Reply #10 on:** April 14, 2013, 12:12:52 PM »

Not Louis Delage and not Farman connected.

Ballot?

nicanary · « **Reply #12 on:** April 14, 2013, 02:40:33 PM »

It looks very similar to the 1929 Bugatti Type 44 Fiacre. Is it ?

ropat53 · « **Reply #13 on:** April 14, 2013, 05:32:43 PM »

Not Ballot and not Bugatti, but of a very well know and prestigious marque.

targhediferro · « **Reply #14 on:** April 16, 2013, 05:27:12 PM »

Hispano-Suiza?

ropat53 · « **Reply #15 on:** April 16, 2013, 07:21:49 PM »

Yes Hispano Suiza, now all you have to find is the model, who the person is and which was his connection with Hispano Suiza, should be very easy.
Locked for you

The car should be an H6B. I think I saw this picture somewhere, but I don't remember where or when, so I don't know who the man standing with a foot on its step, I guess Wilfredo Ricart.

ropat53 · « **Reply #17 on:** April 17, 2013, 09:55:15 AM »

Not H6B and not Ricart.
I'll keep it locked for one more answer.

I think I finally got it: the car should be a rare type I-6, the man is the tennis champion Rene Lacoste, whose father was the administrator of French Hispano at Bois Colombe.

Now that's a perfect answer, well done.
