It was intended as a highly opulent limousine.

No, it was the word "limousine" and the year which made it super-easy. Thank you

I have found multiple images of this vehicle online.

I found images of similar limousines made by Commeinhes on pickclick, but not this Saurer. Most familiar to me was is Byrrh vehicle.
