Does any one know what car this is! I had to draw the best recelection as I could not find any info on the web. Its low slung suicide 2 door usually driven by Gestapo in the movies.
I hope I have posted the picture properly.

Reminds me of the French Citroen......

Maybe this:
Citroen Traction 24N 1937 mod

That is pretty close, my memories say 2 door but the Citroens windscreen area is right on. Does it have the small sqared off trunk area?

Modified drawing to match the Citroen 24N that I now believe is the correct ID for my original post thanks for the help Marcus

Whatever it is - I don't think it's a Citroen. The bonnet is too long for that. Besides the Traction Avant's never got a bulgy trunk until about 1951-52, before that the rear was flat. They had at least three models, varying a little in length, shortest was the 'Sport', medium the 'Normale' and longest the 'Familiale' but the bonnet was the same for them all. Only the Model 'B15 - Six' had the longer bonnet - but still not quite as long as the Q drawings, besides I think that was a postwar development from about 1949. If it's supposed to depict a Citroen it's either a very bad drawing or a model unknown to me.

I don't doubt its a bad drawing, it was done from maybe a +30 yr old memory. Since I saw the car in the movies or TV from the sixties, it may be a later model than the war years. Reading other posts in this forum topic, I think the entertainment people use what ever they can get.

If you're thinkin of a german car, then I would guess it's an Opel Admiral
