It was an extremely obscure French coachbuilder. Not Pipe or Driguet

The puzzle picture is from a 1913 magazine

Thanks for reviving this old puzzle. It is not Closse.

Here are some clues:
- based in one of the Parisian suburbs
- very short lived, but apparently had a stand at the 1913 Paris Auto Show
- one of the partners went on to become a coachbuilder on his own after WW1 for a few years at the same address.

Carrosserie Régence?

Oddly, Régence (owner/partner/manager?) G. Verheyden was already advertising under his own name and at the same address as Régence in 1912.)

no, in Gallica there are two hits for the name of the partnership

I think the only way to find this is:
- find the suburb
- find the partner which went alone in the 1920s
and then I give you the final clue to find the company!
