How was your longest day?



Hello to our friends Downunder who just had their longest night of the year. Still we are more interested to hear from you what you did on the longest day in terms of automotive occupations.
The stretched Renault tourer - click pic for full length - was shot in 1930, location according to the back of the photo is the tourist village of Barr, Alsace. A day apt like few others to go out and do a nice tourist trip. So we won't keep you too long. Can you ID this four or (eight?) door tourer.  Although the looks are quite similar to Renault we have our doubts.  Maybe you have a few spare minutes today to get us one or two steps further?

It seems to me that it really is a Renault of around 1925. It already has the new, pointy Renault nose, but still has the body discontinuity by the radiator behind the bonnet. A similar chassis was used in 1925 for a public service bus in Rotterdam. For exact year and type you will have to consult a specialist (check Conam!).

Surely not a stretched car but a charabanc on a commercial vehicle chassis. Many were built on World War 1 war surplus chassis but this one appears to be later. The openings in the scuttle are very distinctive and should give a clue to its type.
