The sound is typical from Hotchkiss engines, on this car the exhaust is the original one. The steering wheel on the right was pretty commun in France before the 50's, for exemple Buggati or Talbot had the steering wheel on the rigth. It died with the end of thoses brands.
@@MattGabnai Indeed 6 cylinders were pretty commun for Hotchkiss in this era, sadly this is only the 2L 4 cylinders. Always wanted to have the big 6 cylinders but they are very rare.
The car is in very good condition!
Thank you
That sounds unusual for a 4-cylinder engine. Was it made for the export market? (Steering wheel on the right).

Sounds like this is a 6 cylinder, which was very common for Hotchkisses of that era
