You know the drill! Leave your guesses in the comments.
Hint: It's NOT a Packard...
Answer à demain...
UPDATE:

«Louis» returned to his photos from last August at the RM Auction/Pebble Beach Concours for this photo of a 1932 Chrysler Imperial. The saying "They don't make them like they used to" especially is applicable in the case of Chrysler!

In this case, «Louis» doesn't know the answer! What kind of bird is this with the outsized feet?
«Louis» has no clue...

M. Scélérat, éditeur à «Louis»: Ah! Hah! You finally admit that you are clueless!
«Louis» à M. Scélérat, éditeur: Ah, shaddup! You are going to get a clue when my horns launch you into the next county!
M. Scélérat, éditeur: (GULP!)

Richmond Harbor. In World War II, the Kaiser Shipyards mass-produced Liberty and Victory Ships here and Ford had an assembly plant here. The shipbuilding and auto assembly ceased long ago, but Richmond Harbor is busy as a receiving port for Honda, Toyota and other auto manufacturers. Not visible in this image is the Victory Ship Red Oak Victory which was built in the Kaiser Shipyards and is now being restored.
