I think this may be the rarer version of Citroen TPV van :think:

It doesn't even listed in the Wikipedia

Left is Bourvil http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourvil

Photo sent by "the tornado", it seems to be a very early 2CV prototype, so if the movie can be identified from the actors it would be interesting to list I suppose
