Really trying here.  the two cars in the background look to be around 1937ish.  Is that close to the date of the puzzle car?

It's not pre-war and neither is an Alfa-Romeo, because Jean-Marie H is absolutely right - it's one of the two Pennock-bodied Skoda 1100 Roadsters, from about 1946.  This is the other one, with different frontal bodywork:

Well done.

Here's another view of the puzzle car:

My Dutch is more than rusty, but if I understand correctly the car was presented at the RAI car show in Amsterdam in April 1950. The other version dates from 1951.

That was a difficult puzzle to solve, but I have to also back up Hiawatha, my two usually reliable Dutch coachwork sources indicate 1950 and 1951 also.  This does not take away from the puzzle being solved I feel.

Er yes, see my Reply #11!
