General shape and particularly the front reminds me of a Simca Aronde

I think it is a little car project by Volvo ; I believe it had a 800cc engine.

It is indeed, yes.
Any idea when it was made before I give you your point and move this to the Solved board?

Actually I have it as 1955 but it could just as easily have been made in '54!  As ever with these things it's not easy to pin it down with any certainty - unless we have an expert who knows better?!

I have it saved as 1955, but I think we share the same source...! As you say, not easy to be certain, especially if the information comes from the internet.
Anyway, here's the unaltered view
