Can you name this luxurious car?  Make and model only as I'm not sure of the date.

Yes, spot on -  A point is on its way
When I found this, I was surprised to see it even had a central fold down armrest

I wonder if anyone ever actually used those picnic tables.
I can't picture it.  If there were two people in the car they would have to get out and get in the back seats to eat. If there were four people, the back seat passengers would be OK, but what would the front seat passengers do? Eat off their laps?

They are fed by those sitting at the back.

A Princess with strange bumper additions. A works extra, an aftermarket item or a private creation?
