The picture was taken at the Paris Salon, I guess 1950. So, is it French?

I believe it's a Willys Prototype...more soon!

EDIT : 1947 Willys-Hotchkiss Prototype. Bodied by Hotchkiss, this is the first one made ( 2 Door ).

As it has been pointed out to me this one is a repost. But the original puzzle did not give the proper ID. So this one goes up to professionals with 400 points or less to make things right

I don't remember this car from any previous post - must have been before I started following AutoPuzzles.

I believe this is one of the few (only one or two) Hotchkiss-bodied Jeep chassis produced by SOFIA (Société Financičre Industrie et Automobile - a Hotchkiss subsidiary) in France after the war. I think 1947 was the year. Nothing much came of it. There is a nice little auto museum in Tampa Bay that has a Hotchkiss-Gregoire and some of the staff are quite well-versed in Hotchkiss history, among other unusual cars not typically seen here in the United States. Well worth a visit if you're ever in Florida.
