It is rather a German name, although not unkown in France.

Unlocked and open for all.

Alfred Koechlin? It seems he built a car together with his brother, Hubert. And when I searched for Hubert Koechlin I found the puzzle pic:

It's fantastic when you run a 1000 miles race, and your car stops at 10 meters from the arrive line! >:(

sorry about that. There's a very nice Koechlin family website where it was easy to spot the info about the car. Really sorry
