Hi,
It's a Mollmobil (3PS) built in 1919 by Mollwerke A.G. in Oberlichtenau/Germany. The car was a minor success in Japan.

I don't now what kind of car it is, but was it used to escape from beneath the planet of the apes?

Another hit for Allemano. I had it as a 1924 car, but you seem better informed.

My source: (no other mysteries to find there!  :D)

<<< link removed >>

It's indeed not a definite year of production mentioned, but they started building cars in 1919. The range wasn't that big...
