Identify the car in the picture

I'm trying to identify the blue car beside the building. Ignoring the Volvo in the foreground...sorry for the poor quality picture.
Thanks!!

Borgward was my first thought, too, along with the Standard Vanguard, but I don't think it's either of those.

long shot, but looks like a Panhard to me too, but no clue which model.

It is a Panhard Dyna Z. I cheated. Looked it up on Google Images.

That's not a Panhard Dyna. It's about the right size, but there are separate fender and hood forms, the headlights are too far apart and too low on the body. It's a tough challenge!

I don't think there's enough resolution in that photo to have much of a shot. Curious- is there a reason this is important? Can you get a better photo?

Volvo PV 544 with front end damage?
The grill in the far away picture looks non-symmetric so I assume some grill damage and edges are fuzzy.
And hard to tell the shape of the hood in the pic.

Considering all the Swedish cars around, I would guess it is a Volvo or a Saab of some type.

Sorry for the crappy photo...I didn't take it.
A bit of the back story....the property is in a rural setting, was at one time a Datsun garage, then Volvo. The old owner has passed on and a friend is interested in the property. He took the photo and noticed the interesting blue car beside the building.

Given the Volvos ... I'm guessing perhaps and old Amazon? It's a bit of a drive away from me...perhaps I may get out for a self isolating drive and check it out.

Thanks for the guesses. Some pretty interesting cars that I've never heard of. Keep them coming...!!
