Due to the grainy picture difficult to say with confidence, but shows some resemblance to an Alfa Romeo 6C 2500 Pininfarina.

No Alfa Romeo connection here, Pininfarina neither.

1949 Delahaye 135M Cabriolet "Ponton" by Guilloré?

The year could be right (I don't have an exact one), but it is neither a 135 nor bodied by Guilloré.

I still remember the advertisement of this strange looking car in Oldtimer-Markt magazine, many decades ago. It has been wrongly described there, as a Delahaye 148N 1936-38 with Uhlig bodywork.
But it should be a Delahaye 148N of the Forties with bodywork from Nemecek, Praha, CZ.

Yes, it would have been Uhlik rather than Uhlig anyhow, but it most probably was done by Nemecek.

One more point for you.

Does anyone have any information about this obscure coachbuilder?

This Delahaye 48721 was rebuilt with a Chapron bodyshell , as the car was in 1937 !

In my opinion that's a pity. Do you know what happened to the Nemecek body? Probably scrapped.
