Close, but not exactly.

No, but closer than most of the previous guesses.

I suppose that this is the story of this car.

In 1935, a Buick McLaughlin was given to Cardinal Villeneuve during the Eucharistic Congress. This car ended up in the hands of Eugène a few years later. It had been resold, then damaged and ended up in Lévis. He buys it, then dismantles it to modify it with a more futuristic line.
