Vintman ◊ 2016-10-25 13:26	I think this is the same car with photographed with two different bodies. It seems to have the same registration number 3289-E. This one has the limnousine/landaulette body. I am relatively sure it is a cca 1910 Labor manufactured by Weyher & Richmond in France to the design of De Cleves Chevallier who were the selling agents. They made a 15'20 and a 20'30. Looks biggish so probaly the 20'30. Existed between 1907 to 1912. Vintman
Vintman ◊ 2016-10-25 13:50	Or perhaps it is two diffeent registrations so two Labors chasing each other as on the lowest photo. The back view seems to show 3971-E
Vintman ◊ 2016-10-25 13:57	Top left has it as 3279 E; three Labors?
chicomarx ◊ 2016-10-25 14:33	Certainly two indeed, I suspect three also. New make.
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2016-10-25 15:59	Well spotted. I had found the make in Georgano's book, but could not find a picture of the logo anywhere.
Raul1983 ◊ 2016-10-25 22:06	Nice find. Very rare make as internet doesn't provide any information. It's good to have Georgano's encyclopedia.

Hours sur voiture Labor (Pneus Continental) Raid Paris Marseille en 15 heures Description: FERNAND-LOUIS GOTTLOB (1873-1935) Labor. If the name doesn't clue you in as to the very serious nature of this French automobile, then the expression on the driver's face lets the passerby know straight-away that Labor is the make for those who know that the automobile is not just some passing fancy, but a very solemn technological advance to be regarded with the proper respect. Maybe if they would have emphasized that responsibility doesn't have to preclude enjoyment they would have lasted more than five years in the market. But as is, the 4-cylinder, shaft-driven Labors were produced from 1907 through 1912 at the Weher and Richemond factory in both 20 and 30-horse power models from the designs of Cleves-Chevalier, who also served as their sales agent. But motorcycles and vélos, assuming that's the same company, lasted much longer than the car production.
