I don't know whether this one has a proper name, I just want to know some characterizing facts.

For one point, please respond and tell me what this car is based on, when it was built and what it is supposed to resemble.

from Central Europe?

My guess is that the basis is a Hindustan Ambassador and it is supposed to resemble a 1920s ~~Prole's choice~~ Rolls-Royce.
Built in the 1960s perhaps?

- from Central Europe
- a less exotic base than a Hindustan
- supposed not to resemble a 1920s Rolls-Royce
- built before the 1960s

This will mainly be a guessing game, although there are some visible hints about the base.

As far as I can see, it's only the wheels that are likely to give any clue. I haven't worked out what they come from yet, but the five-stud fixing should give a hint. Also the apparent positive camber of the rear wheel makes it look like the chassis has swing axle suspension at the back.

That's what I meant.
