For one point, specify the year, make, and body construction material of this tough old car

It has a French look to it, is it a Rochet Schneider?

I don't have a lot of information about the car, but I can tell you it is French.  The creation of this car is credited to a single engineer.  I do not know if it was created from scratch, or if he simply rebodied another car.

Correct Ray.  The point is yours.

1926 Sedan bodied by engineer M. de Groulard, using reinforced concrete.

I haven't found a lot of information about this car, other than an article from 1926.

That's all I found as well.  I bet they didn't try to make it into a schwimmwagen!
