Peugeot 401, I guess. But the sub-genre, I wouldn't say. Its rear end on the right: |

The "Queue de Castor" (beaver tail) means at least a 1935 model. But is it a 1935-36 401 D 'Conduite intérieure Grand Luxe' (built only one year) or a 1935-36 301 D 'Conduite intérieure Grand Luxe'? (401 D // 301 D - The D doesn't stand for Diesel, it's the "code" for this 1935+ body) There is apparently chassis codes for these cars: a 401 'Conduite...' would have the A8L code while a 301 'Limousine' would have the A6L one. Of course, these codes come from fan sites and should certainly be cross-checked before being used |

@ DidierF: A 401 DL would be a 'Conduite intérieure Familiale Grand Luxe' or a 'Conduite intérieure Commerciale': (1935 Peugeot car line brochure excerpts) It could also be a Taxi, but I don't know the sales name of this latter. But as long wheelbase model, it couldn't have the door handle above the rear fender, as visible in the thumbnail. -- Last edit: 2015-11-28 19:33:48 |

I'm not the one who gave its present name to the car. All I can tell is that it's not a taxi. |

I deleted the L for consistency between the type of car and its sales name. |
