Is it the Lars-Emil Bergstrom Buick Special ? This was fitted post-war with a more modern body and a Mercury grille.

I have found another photo of the car, racing at Kastrup in 1949. It's not identified   ;D. It's the 1949 Copenhagen Grand Prix. but the web reveals nothing.

Is it the BL Special ?

Not only have I found another image of this car (which could not be copied) but I found a Danish-language film of a race in 1949 with it starting on the second row. I'll attempt to copy and save the film for this puzzle. Don't hold your breath.
