Renault, I think. Late 20s, possible a Monasix.

Old Renault, likely from the mid-1920s. Renaults had their radiators mounted behind the engine until the 1930s or so. Louis Renault once said: "As long as I live the radiator stays at the back!" Didn't happen.

That's an old-ass Renault. It looks like a KJ-1 or a KZ 01.

Unitas-Tatra?

Definitely an ass-Renault.

So far, the general consensus has been Renault.

Looks like a Renault NN. Either a 1 or a 2.

One of these? Renault Torpedo, 1925

That looks like the best guess so far.

Random clicking of Renault models listed on Wikipedia extensive research revealed that this was most likely a 1924-26 Renault MT

or a KJ1

That front end is definitely distinctive.

Renaults were also distinctive due to their use of confusing model designations. Want to see a small list of models made between 1920 and 1930?

The French were never really known for their organizational skills.

Stupid tax horsepower.

They're so hipster, they're in black and white! Color is too mainstream, I guess.

Actually, this is in color. The entire world was black and white before the invention of Kodachrome.
