Should be easy for an expert

Yes, it is. 

It's a nice Simca Huit with a body by Figoni & Falaschi styled in 1949 by count Mario Revelli of Beaumont.

Perfect answer, well done!

A very attractive car in my opinion

Indeed, and it's part of a small batch done for the Paris Motor Show, all with different graphics for the front grille.
