The coachbuilder is not French, but a well known one who made several regular cars.

Looking at the building in the background, and if the picture was taken in the country where the body was made, was the coachbuilder from the UK?

I will buy you a beer when I'm in your neighbourhood.....

I do have some extra information about these cars. They where bought buy the city of Rotterdam together with two Crossley's which where als bodied by Pennock. The Dutch text:

26 Delage 6-cil. (1921) De Gemeentelijke Geneeskundige Dienst van Rotterdam liet twee nieuwe 6-cilinder Delage-chassis door de rijtuigbouwer Pennock & Co uit 's-Gravenhage van een speciale ziekenwagencarrosserie voorzien. De firma Pennock had bij deze constructie de medewerking van ir M.P. de Bruyne, directeur van de Gemeente Reinigings- en Ontsmettingsdienst, die oak de auto-tractieafdeling van de Geneeskundige Dienst onder zijn beheer had. Dit blijkt uit een citaat uit een briefvan 10 januari 1922 van deze directeur aan de burgemeester van Haarlemmermeer:

In antwoord op Uw schrijven heb ik de eer U te melden dat bij mijn Dienst in gebruik zijn vier ziekenauto's die, wat het technische gedeelte betreft, onder lei ding staan

van den Heer Directeur v.d. Reinigings- & Ontsmettingsdienst. Wij gebruiken 2 Crossley's (4- cylinders) en 2 Delages (6 cylinders, bijzondere vering, remmen op de 4wielen). De Chassis werden door den Directeur v.d. R. & O.Dienst aangekocht en de carrosseriebouw onder zijn toezicht opgedragen aan Pennock & Co te 's Hage. De carrosserie van beide soorten is gelijk gebouwd. Beide soort wagens voldoen op de slechte bestrating goed, vanzelf loopen de geheel nieuwe 6

cylinders Delage zachter. De prijs der laatsten is ± 17000,-gl per stuk."

De auto's dienden voor het vervoer van ernstige zieken en gewonden naar het gemeenteziekenhuis. Aan de binnenkoets was veel aandacht besteed. Het ruime interieur was van twee couchettes voorzien, waarop een uitschuifbare draagbaar was geplaatst. De wag ens konden verwarmd

worden door een radiator van het systeem Bleriot, waardoor een gedeelte van de uitlaatgassen van de motor werden geleid. Glad geemailleerde binnenwanden en uitneembare inventaris vergemakkelijkten de reiniging en ontsmetting. De Delages werden aangeschaft naast de twee modern ingerichte Crossleyziekentransportauto's

If someone is interested I will translate this....
