Some similarities with the 1935 Hupmobile (the windshield being the more obvious). An early proposal ?

Thanks grobmotorix,

but as you know I just wanted to tell you that this puzzle is a repost. This car is the FN Prince Albert Type 42A, built from 1934 to 1937.

You're welcome. I knew I had this picture in one of my books, but couldn't find it. When looking for clues for some of woodinsight's puzzles, I looked through the Georgano and found it coincidentally. That's how it always goes, isn't it?
