The first car into Sau Paulo (St Paul) Brazil was a French car, a Motobloc
found with the story at http://antigosverdeamarelo.blogspot.com/2012/01/motobloc-1908-sao-paulo-santos.html
For perspective on the year 1908, remember that there were several long distance trial runs happening around the world by car companies that were proving the durability of their cars, and by drivers that were making personal achievements. Like the 1908 New York to Paris race http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20York%20to%20Paris%20race

Several poeple identified these late 1920's early 1930's cars as Hotchkiss (French manufacturer) Jon found this photo in a family photo album, and wondered what they were
Francis was first to identify them,
Iain learned that the plates were London registered: by this list -

A quick look at the dvla site suggests the numbers are no longer on those cars.
Ivan knew that the car company was French, HOTCHKISS. Benjamin Berkeley Hotchkiss.
Tire Van knew that the cars are running on Dunlop triplestud tyres!
Jean-Frederic was the most recent of the correct answers, and that is the list of people who knew what they were and emailed me...
The badge in the grill is easy to identify once you've seen it
thank you all!

a quick run through the upstairs racecars was all I had before the Mullin Museum closed, I'll be back to get better photos
For a much better gallery, because she doesn't take as long to photograph each car, see Justacargal's galleries http://justacargal.blogspot.com/search/label/Mullin%20Museum
