Please be so kind and identify this car for one point... For which purpose built? By whom? Where?

Perhaps a car to carry hunters and game from the woods?

This VW 1600 Variant was converted into an open car with 2 longitudinal seats for passenger transport. The manufacturer was Skandinavisk Motor Co. A/S in Biler, Denmark, a large Volkswagen dealer that still exists today.

Yes, it is! Only one small correction: Skandinavisk Motor Co. A/S-Biler (SMC-Biler) is located in Odense, Denmark. 'Biler' is the Danish word for 'cars'.
The car's used to transport the company's customers....

Oh dear, my Danish vocabulary is very limited.
Thanks for the point. This puzzle was very nice.
