pilou ◊ 2007-09-20 17:29	Yes a JD 40 cv could also be possible .It is very difficult to have a better idea without a fuller side view to judge the wheelbase. When looking at pictures of the big early twenties Renaults, my impression is that the hood of the 40 cv is even longer than this one ,but if we have learned something with imcdb is that movie pictures may give false impressions.With this type of steering wheel it is early rather than end twenties, and the body is obviously a tourer ( phaeton for Renault).
