You're both right. Oh dear..

It's a car which evolved into this, which I believe was its final iteration.

Point awarded and puzzle merged.

Interesting power to weight ratio - that's a Ford flathead (from a Vedette) in a Monopole chassis.

It's the Duval-Ford V8. It was originally a 1948 Monopole-Simca into which Duval squeezed a Ford V8 Vedette engine. It should have been a sidevalve engine but when put up for sale it appeared to have "hemispherique"- presumably heads.
