Judging from its hood ornamend itīs a caddilac. My guess a 1936. The chopped style of this passenger car bares resemblance to the many civvy cars that the Germans used for all kinds of purposes during the war. The crisp look of all the chrome and other luxurios parts makes likely that it was converted after the war.
it is a 1934 Buick passenger car with was converted during the war years in the Netherlands (1941). it had a Ajax pump make by Stork in Hengelo. and the bodywork at the rear looks like a Remmers bodywork.
