You mean he built another car? A streamliner as well?

It is the 1928 Gérin, independent suspension, unit body made of light alloy.

The first appearance of Jacques Gérin on AutoPuzzles was this one:

It looks as if the car survived. I found some very nice pictures:

Esatto!
Great pictures!
I found my picture in an old magazine of the 20s...that was really obscure to me!
1 well deserved point to you!

I found the solution by chance, when looking through the book "Best of Christophorus 1956-1962". There was an article in this Porsche magazine sometime in the 1950s about the development of automobile aerodynamics, where the puzzle picture was shown as a drawing. I had never expected to find a non-Porsche puzzle solution in there.  :D
