It is the GAZ-A-Tsvetkov,  based on a GAZ-A and built in 1936 by G.A. Tsvetkov, deputy director of the Leningrad post office garage. The streamlined body was made of steel sheet mounted on a wood frame with a production GAZ-A  inline 4 cylinder, 3285 cc., 40 hp engine.
The car set a few national speed records.
The puzzle picture shows driver A. Rymko at the wheel  and Tsvetkov standing next to the car.

Correct! It is said to be the first racing car built in Leningrad (now St Petersburg).
