If you have never come across this site it really is a visual feast, as well as informative articles.

Its in French of course, but google or other such facilities can do a bit of decent but often hamfisted translation.

This is an article with pics on "Voitures de rêve" (dream cars)_about concept cars history. Starts "off-topic" noticing your title...but does get onto some interesting Frenchies!

Starts from this Peugeot 402 in 1936

Having seen that car at the conservortoire, I think that it is only a mockup, with no mechanics or structural strength.
