Mr. Mc Coy the American Express representative in France bought the car in 1913 for 35,000 francs and used it for long journeys through Holland, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. When war broke out it was seized by the French Government and assigned to Genralissimo Joseph Joffre, which was rather strange considering it was a German car.
