Apologies for the poor photo.
Make, model, year and coachbuilder for one point.

Van Leersum Holland Delahaye 135 Coupe 1939  (as listed on some sites) or 1946/7 (as other believe) Another pic exists with a curved bumper, probably the original. A quite similar car - with closed rear quarters - is preseently for sale as a Saoutchik body, and even graced the cover of a well known English classics magazine..

Yes, that's the car.
I have this as a 1937 model that differs in many details from later versions.
My Delahaye book on coachbuilders shows the 1946 version and I'll scan the photo and post more details here shortly.
In the meantime I'm pleased to give you another point.
