It looks like black/blue


Le Magasin du 46, avenue Montaigne en 1934

Good evening.
It's some time since I've visited this site, so my apologies for a rather late entry to this topic.
In the early 1960s I was given a large framed photographic print of this car, hand tinted in colour - very well done too. It clearly shows a two-tone colour scheme for the car, black and blue, as in the 6/7/2008 photo. in one of your replies. The blue, however, looks a little more subdued (possibly darker) than in that photo.
The print I have is a fairly well known one since I've seen it published several times over the years. It is a right hand broadside view with the chaffeur, in cap and long coat standing in front of the car, facing the camera. The setting appears to be in a park or boulevard.
There is no date anywhere but the car has the T-shaped door handles seen in the 1934 photo, rather than the oval ones seen in the other two.
I have no idea when the print I have was actually tinted, so 'as evidence' it can only be circumstantial. There is a name - 'W F Sedgwick' on the mounting, but I've no idea who he was or how he relates to my print.
I hope this is of interest.
Cheers, John.
