I'll find something to send the correct answer.

Most will recognize the carb, but what engine is this and what car is it in?

Man, I love me some Tatras... very interesting engineering, very interesting style. I've heard of Tracta, but never seen one! Good looking car... I really dig some of those european 30's cars..
