What kind of car was on the Titanic?

What kind of car was on the Titanic?
They were evidently luxury automobiles. The cars were mainly European and more specifically of French lineage; because in those days, European cars were very popular among the wealthy few in America. In the America of 1912, it was "chic and de bon genre" to be seen in a big Delauney-Belleville or a Mercedes Coupe Chauffeur. It is quite possible that there were American cars on the ship because the American passengers were on their way back to New York, having used a different ship to come to Europe. They had most probably taken their own car instead of using the plebeian-fit public trains of the old continent.
