Professionals' time.

Looks like a Citroën C4 from somewhere around 1930.

targhediferro · « **Reply #15 on:** May 12, 2014, 01:56:25 AM »

It looks like a Citroen, because it's a Citroen! But not a C4. Locked for your next guess.

Tom_I · « **Reply #16 on:** May 12, 2014, 05:00:58 AM »

If not a C4, is it an AC4? The bonnet doesn't look long enough to be a C6 (or AC6).

targhediferro · « **Reply #17 on:** May 12, 2014, 06:00:33 AM »

It's indeed a C6. Now you've to add the coachbuilder...two guesses before unlock.

Now this is confusing. The puzzle picture can be found on a French forum without too much difficulty, but the person who posted it there describes it as a Citroën AC4, rather than a C6. Maybe there is better information somewhere else, but I haven't been able to find any.

Another member on the same forum reckons that the car is being used as a taxi, and the landaulet style body is by Chapelle et Jabouille, a coachbuilder from Levallois, in the Hauts-de-Seine area of Paris. I don't know if that's correct, but it's all I have been able to find.

targhediferro · « **Reply #19 on:** May 12, 2014, 04:11:57 PM »

You actually round the car. I had it as C6, but I suppose you're right as it looks like to be smaller. The coachbuilder is correct, so I consider it solved as an AC4.
