Uncertain as to the location, but apparently the car is a Citroën Traction Avant.
An early one, a 7 with the smaller engine I believe (the difference is in the rims). If I'm right this puts this picture as pre-ww2 because the 7 was very quickly replaced/followed by the 10 and 15. Numbers are “fiscal horses", the amount of taxes to pay being relative to the size and power of the engine.
It's always fascinating to me how car aficionados can pick out details like that!
No, it just means this car was manufactured pre-WW2.
