In the movie John Gavin tells Maurice Chevalier it's an American car

This one is a mystery. The style of body suggests a date of 1909-11. The concept of a big single gas headlight suggests an earlier date - circa 1904 or earlier. The radiator is painted which is very unusual for a pre-1914 car and doesn't look big enough to cool a big engine. At least the wheels are big, which suits the era which I presume is pre-WW1.

With no roof and no ragtop it's a Phaeton.

(Later Convertibles or Hardtops were also called Phaeton, or even named by the car maker, without being a Phaeton in the original meaning of the word. Don't think @antp has this class, though)

"convertible" category is fine for convertibles, hardtops, phaetons and roadster; there is not real need to have separate categories

I think what @3loader was missing could be a roof - you would expect that on a convertible - there is nothing here to convert.

(As a category here, convertible works just fine - whether it's a hard top, convertible, drop head coupe or convertible coupe ;) )

the classic Shelby Cobra, has no roof either and I think they are listed as convertible

I might be going crazy, but I think it's this Laurin & Klement from the Samohyl (famous Czech collector of old cars) collection, with light modifications like a replaced radiator, fake horn, removed top and added headlights: https://www.autokaleidoskop.cz/files/201506/20150602-194917.JPG
On the net its pics go by a million different model names and years, hence why I only said 'Laurin & Klement'

The movie was filmed in Vienna, not far from the CSSR...

It's a definite match. Nice work, Gamer.

Origin should be Austria-Hungary, it is indeed a prewar car. :)

After Prof. Samohyl's death, his collection was turned into a vintage car rental:

1907 Type F then. With such detailed history of the car and such a professional layout they surely know what they are talking about.
