This is a bit of a guess, Delage D6, 1939 with a Chapron body?

Good guess but I'm afraid it's not a Delage, nor built in 1939 and Chapron didn't build the body.......

The base car is French but the bodywork is not....

Is Hispano Suiza French? Looks like maybe a Van Vooren body?

Hispano-Suiza is French or Spanish but it's not that.
Coachwork is not Vanvooren (that's French) and not that either....

I would imagine so - it's a coachbuilt car not a production line one.

Not a Georges Irat - you were closer with your previous replies.
The coachwork is not British.

More expensive than a Salmson (I believe) and you are a decade out with the year...

Delahaye? I haven't said that before because the hubcaps and radiator sides don't look right (to me).

Yes it's a Delahaye!
I agree with your comments but perhaps the owner/coachbuilder was responsible for that?

Here's another view -

Hmm.. That isn't how I was picturing the front to look. Is the coachwork Swiss?

It's a 1947 Delahaye by Vanden Plas...at least that's how I have it listed.
