A few easy pieces to a solution?

For one point, provide the year, make, model, and coachbuilder of this car

Not Delahaye.  One of the least obscure French manufacturers.  :)

Renault Suprastella cabriolet Saoutchik, 1937, first owner Gen. Lattre de Tassigny

Another point to Targhediferro.

I figured the Renault nose with the Saoutchik sliding doors would be a giveaway.

This is what happens when you get distracted with household jobs assigned by your wife, you miss puzzles being moved.

OK, not to be picky, but I thought the Suprastella was introduced in 1939 and I believe was a one year wonder.

After the war, it was taken over by General König who for a time was Military Governor of Paris.  This can be seen also on the registration plate "GMP".  My French is awful but I think that stands for something like "Gouvernment Militaire Paris".

Somewhere I have a photo with the doors closed and will post it here when I find it.

Edit:  Doors closed.

I originally had it as 1939, so I will change it back.
