Ardennes would be Aprilia and not Artena..

I believe only two models were made or assembled by Lancia at Bonneuil-sur-Marne

Ardennes = Aprilia

Belna = Augusta

It is a 238 chassis...so Aprilia. I'm pretty sure the rear window is not original...too big for 1937. This car looks like the result of a rough restoration (in my opinion the Ferrari red too is hardly suitable for an Aprilia by Pourtout!)

Bellu shows in his 1938 edition of Toutes les voitures francaises a sketch of an Ardennes convertible of similar lines by Pourtout. Together with the rough window sideline and the much too large rear window which made me think of a postwar body, I would assume a postwar conversion of a 1937 Pourtout convertible into a coupe.

A more correct convertible :
