M. et Mme Miral sur la Barriaux de Vulpes [i.e. la Vulpès de Barriaux], Evreux 1907.

 

 

This is a Vulpès voiturette.

Found on Graces Guide - looks to be the same car. The make appears to have been short-lived - "1906. Produced 6-8 (two-cylinder), 10-12, 18-24, 30-40 and 60-75 h.p. (all four-cylinder) chassis. Agents for the UK were Seymours"

That's race driver Barriaux in the photo.

 

Vulpès built one of the first underslung cars, licensing the Vrard/Stabilia patent. Their 120HP racecar was entered in the 1905 ACF Grand Prix but didn't pass scutineering due to excess weight.

Yes I saw a photo of that in my search.

1930 Jordan Model Z 

 

Dash Board of Jordan Model Z Speedway Ace - 1930

This is the interior of this progressively styled 1930 Jordan Speedway Model Z Ace roadster, the designer of which is a mystery.   Given the multiple advanced details possibly was one of the major designers active at the time creating this design as a consultant to Jordan.

I imagine he's spraying laquer, with a cigarette in his other hand.

Birthed into the painting trade I remember smelling cigarettes and laquer on my father in some of my first memories as a child. Oh the stories we could tell (those of us who grew up in the painting trade). All I have to say is thank God I wore a respirator. 

 

Man, I think I caught a memory buzz just looking at that photo...

 

 

Somewhat auto and painting related, this looks like an early striping set up.
