    looks like a copy of an Eifel. The grill bars go the wrong way, there are some other subtle differences...????

    no help with the car, but most times you see a black and white photo of that mustache, there's only one guy in the photo wearing it. And it's usually either Hitler, or Chaplin.

    im looking at the side pannels and it sure does resemble a mid 30s buick
    but the grill in the photo looks more like a lincoln zephyr....could be a custom?

    A rather late iteration of the stodgy pre-war French conduite interieure: an interesting type despite being very much the opposite of what an enthusiast looks for! Earlier ones tended to have tiny and gutless but admirably smooth sixes.
