It's been featured here before as a puzzle...I'll try to find it back.
I think this car has not been on AP..
You were right. I have those pics in my folder of unidentified cars.  :-\

Thank you, it was my 1st thought too, but it's not that.  :(
The 2 cars are from 2 different countries and Varela was quite known for the writer of the article where I found the mistery car...

I found a web page which refers to the mystery car as "Dauphine-Alfa Romeo".  And they refer back to an Italian magazine.  I have found both a magazine scan with "Dauphine-Alfa Romeo" under an image of the mystery car, as well as an some text in Italian describing the car.

I have this car as Delage 8 made by Paul Jaray. I am looking forward to getting a confirmation together with more information about his car. Thank You!

Google Image Search gives another description : Duesenberg Delage from 1934 ("Inspirationen Durch Aerodynamik, Flugzeugbau und Bootsbau" - Torsten Kanitz)

I would like to help the people from quartettblog who can't identify a car pictured on a cover of a rare quartet game. I'm not that much into kitcars, but I'm sure some of you know what this one is:

The cards are the same as the F.X.Schmid Traumwagen quartet, only the cover card is unique. But this card game is very rare.

Please help me identifying the cars on these pictures.
One of them is a prewar car, a bit fuzzy

The other one is post 1945 and features a Mercedes and a strange VW Beetle. It is not a Kohlruss Volkswagen.

Thanks

The prewar car is a Praga Baby, see below.

The VW is obviously a privately rebodied Kübelwagen, made to look like a Beetle. You can see some more Kübelwagen in the background.

Thanks for the assistance. Yes, the guy who ran this shop started his activities in 1945 by repairing old Kübelwagens. Interesting remark about the rebody - I think the family made a mistake here. They claim the attached was the Kübelwagen turned into VW Beetle. However this looks like a stock Beetle to me

CP 848 surely is a stock VW.
