Update I: so far no winner. Who can deliver proof what the exact type is of this 1927 Chaigneau Brasier?

EARLIER TEXT: It is a typical rural classic car dealer in France. A roof covering a few old cars. A late fifties Renault Frégate on the left, a Citroen TA on the right. Up to you to cough up what's going on in the middle. What you are looking at (click to zoom) in fact is the last episode of a famous and old car industry that came to life in the early times of motoring. The make has had different names since the end of the nineteenth century. The small car has a double name of which the second one is quite wellknown. Not so with the first name. The radiator should tell the rest of the story. Sorry, but we took out the circular radiator badge. The best answer will win the PreWarCar/Roadmap gillet. Enjoy weekend !
