But the headlights are integrated in the catwalks as on the EMW 327 2+2 Cabriolet whose production started in 1948 .According to Eberhard Kittler 's Typenkompass book of the DDR- Personenwagen 1945-1990 ,the Awtowelo BMW 321 built in Eisenach DDR from 1945 to 1950 was strictly built as a 2-door limousine similar to the prewar BMW 321 limousine , not as a Cabriolet .And in any case those had high placed free-standing headlights as was the case on the prewar BMW's.So this is obviously a car that has been modified.

I would also say this looks very much like a BMW 335 Authenrieth. http://www.madle.org/og05bmw335aut39.jpg
