Hi Diego, the first pic maybe an early Latil, the secound looks like a "Chatillon-Panhard tractor" ...

Link to latil site showing early types...

Hi Diego, you should note that it appears that latil produced the first front wheel drive and the truck with the A/C appears to be this type of vechile so could be an early latil (say 1910+)or is a truck with a Latil front wheel drive unit, which they appear to have sold seperatly and to which you could attach your own bodywork..... although I believe they are more famous for 4 wheel drive tractors for artillery.....perhaps you can identify the aircraft type....

maybe its a Bleriot XI with the elavators removed? which would date the pic to 1909+....

Cheers

Yes, it look like a Blériot type, but since there was several different types used prewar by the France, it's difficult to say exactly what this "secret weapon" is.
