Those wheels reminds me of immediate post-war Peugeot... Could it be one?

Then I assume it is a Traction Avant chassis. I will try a bold assumption by saying this is a post-war 15 model?

Sorry I'm not completely familiar with the rules, how much time until it gets unlocked? Because I can't find much more info...

I'm going to suggest  that this is one of about 50 Cord 812 cars converted by Charles Dechaux who had a garage in Paris.
Only 50 Cords were ever imported into France and Dechaux converted 20 of them to Citroën power. Nineteen had 11CV Traction engines (due to that engines popularity, economy and reliability). The other Cord had a 15/6 (6 cylinder) engine.
