For a point, who built this, in what year, and what was its mechanical base?

My search for cars carved out of Styrofoam has turned up some interesting results, but I've found nothing related to this car so far. French?

So the manufacturer produced cars of the same model/type but with a different body?

Panhadr-related...
Is it basically a re-bodied Panhard or does it only contain Panhard components (or neither)?

I don't know if all his cars were Panhard-based, but certainly some other models were.
