When was this built, what name was it given, and for whom was it created?

There is a similar, newer green vehicle on the internet, which is (incorrectly?) assigned the same name.

There appears to be a chimney flue at the rear end - was this a vehicle for habitation?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #7 on:** October 30, 2013, 08:19:24 AM »

It provides many of the comforts of home, and is mobile

Based on an American truck?

As far as I can tell, no connection with the Americas.

An interior view of this luxurious carriage:

Bill Murray · « **Reply #11 on:** November 18, 2013, 11:06:38 AM »

I do not have the answer, but I did find a small article on the French manufacturer Wagon-Lits that featured their "Parlour Car" railroad wagons which had an almost identical interior. Could this at least be the builder of this vehicle?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #12 on:** November 18, 2013, 08:24:08 PM »

I do not have information about the actual builder, merely the name of the man for whom it was created.

ropat53 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 18, 2013, 09:40:24 PM »

Could it have been for the Emperor of China?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #14 on:** November 19, 2013, 08:06:52 AM »

Not built for royalty of any country

Bill Murray · « **Reply #15 on:** November 19, 2013, 08:19:05 AM »

Famous entertainer??

Bill

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #16 on:** November 19, 2013, 08:44:23 AM »

Not an entertainer

The chassis looks circa WW1 - was this mobile accomodation for a French commander?

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #18 on:** November 19, 2013, 08:06:29 PM »

Not military, pre-WW1

Bill Murray · « **Reply #19 on:** November 20, 2013, 07:15:42 AM »

Used on some famous expedition?
Bill

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #20 on:** November 20, 2013, 08:12:16 AM »

No expedition. Created for leisurely touring.

Bill Murray · « **Reply #21 on:** November 20, 2013, 08:50:35 AM »

Thank you for your patience and your helpful tips, Cuda.

A "Captain of Industry" perhaps??

Bill

sixtee5cuda · « **Reply #22 on:** November 20, 2013, 09:07:54 AM »

Yes, a captain of industry.

Earlier, you mentioned "Wagon-Lits". I do not have information indicating they built this vehicle, but it was constructed in France.
