Near mint.

For one point, please respond and identify this car, tell me what is special about it and who was responsible for it.

I would say it looks like an unrestaured version of a 1950 Olympia by Opel?

It is an Opel Olympia from 1950 (not Kadett), but there is a visible difference to the stock 1950 Olympia.

The trunk looks different.

Follow that path.

In my first post I told about a Kadett Olympia 1951; you corrected me, saying it was not a Kadett...and it was from 1950. Perhaps that was a clue: I think Opel Olympia got a larger trunk  since 1951 only, so this could be a sort of prototype of the renewed model.

Is it the "humpback" trunk (boot) that's different from the 1951 "bustle-back" trunk?

It is not a prototype. Let's say, someone had an idea before the guys at Opel themselves.

Yes, the trunk is what makes the puzzle car different, but who was responsible for it?

Was it an home-made one-off, or a coachbuilder job?

Meh....

Perhaps a police car.

I don't know for sure, but I don't think so. Special police coachwork at that time was usually of the Kübelwagen type, like the Volkswagen Typ 18A or the Mercedes-Benz 170 Da OTP.
