I have realised (quite long ago though!) that is nearly impossible to stump Ram when it comes to guessing cars!
I have seen one of these in person, and they seem surprisingly spacious for its size.

For the ones who know, the hood ornament will be the give-away.

ID:927 is a 1939 Graham-Paige "Sharknose" two-door coupé.

The sweptback nose made the car look like it was moving, even when static. That gave the styling, the moniker “The Spirit of Motion”.

The press and US designers praised the design. In France, it won the Concours d'Elegance in Paris, the Prix d'Avant-Garde at Lyon, the Prix d'Elegance at Bordeaux, and the Grand Prix d'Honneur at Deauville.

However, with customers, the design was a flop.
Less than 10,000 cars were made in 3 years.

Eleven years later (in 1950) the 1939 swept-back grille and nose got the name "sharknose".

It was powered by a Graham designed 217 cid (3,556 cc) flathead engine.
