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

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
