Reminds me of those huge Tatra T80 limousines. Usually you connect Tatra with technically exotic and aerodynamic cars, but the T80 was just big.

If it is one - I´m still not very sure as I can´t find this body style...

Not a Tatra, but also not too far removed, in one way...

Is it an austrian Gräf & Stift SP8? The late SP8 and the SP9 looked similar, too...

It's remarkable how similar it is to the Tatra T80, the Gräf & Stift SP8 and the late Laurin-Klement or early Skoda 860.
Doesn't seem to have the Gräf & Stift lion mascot.
There was also a big Steyr, the Austria, which only made it to prototype form, but was about the right date/size but I can't find a photo.
Edited to say: found one and it's not the Austria

Could be a Horch. Maybe an 851?

I still believe it might be a czech or austrian car. I´ve found some Wikov 40 pics...?

Is it a early 30s Škoda 860, which was actually more or less czech-built Laurin & Klement? Škoda bought Laurin & Klement in 1925.

The body is Czech.
Czech? All right. The styling looks european, but the wheels and hood look Packard to me. Am I wrong?

It is a 1934 Packard with a czech Sodomka body. The czech website calls it a cabriolet, I'd call it a phaeton. Good photoshopping.
