I think, this is the Lidovka, from Czechoslovakia.

As is usually the case, make and model are needed to take the point.

For all i know, the car's name is Lidovka R6, it was made in 1946.

I think what you're after is maybe Pilát Lidovka - but Pilát is the name of its constructor, Zdeněk Pilát. Anyway, this seems to be a prototype for the later R6, it's the only one of its kind in existence. It was built in 1943, powered by a 15 hp, 500 cc DKW TL motorcycle engine in front, but with rear-wheel drive. Top speed was 90 kph.

Yes, "lid" means "people" or "folk" in czech, so Lidovka is (more or less) an affecionate way of saying "the popular one".
