A scale model put in a picture of Palais de Chaillot in Paris.

So I would guess it is French from the late 1930s.

It's French but not from the 30s.

The Hansom-Cab-like driver's position makes me think whether it was a taxi proposal?

Yes!
This 'Taxi-Cab' was designed around 1944 by J.H. Labourdette.
Well done!
