The very typical roofline gave the coachbuilder away. Searching for this vehicle led to the following information:
License plate number: 1735 - RG4
Year of construction: 1933
Base vehicle: Citroën 10 CV (Rosalie)
Designer: Guillaume Busson

Background information:
This Citroën 10 CV was the first in a small series of about 10 vehicles with the Grümmer patented Aéroprofile design where inclined door glass at the upper side was implemented. Several different chassis' (Citroën, Alfa Romeo, Renault, Hotchkiss & Peugeot) were equipped by Grümmer with this Aéroprofile concept. A notable fact is that the designer's name was also mentioned on a plate/tag/plaque on this car. Mostly coachbuilders feature only their own name, but this car also specified the name of it's designer Busson.

Thank you for posting this puzzle SACO. So far I was only aware of one Grümmer Aéroprofile vehicle. Since the roof line is so particular this was a fun search which taught me there were several of these vehicles on different chassis'. Learning new stuff is the fun part of this website.
