1937 Buick

It is a '38 - more vertical grille than a '37. Probably a Special as the body doesn't look to be the bigger Roadmaster type, but could be corrected. Is there another frame - the next one after the first thumb - which might show the C pillar, the one behind the rear door. On the smaller bodies and also the big Limited that pillar is vertical. On the Roadmaster it is sloped.

Sure looks like the more tightly spaced 1937 grill bar pattern from here.
The '38 had fewer bars, more widely spaced.

Yes but compare the two and you will see the '38 Grille is more vertical. I think the movie has blurred the bars.

Roadmaster...C-pillar is sloped in the first thumb.

Please change:

This is indeed a Roadmaster, as 38buicks already said. The difference is the C-pillar, and zooming in reveals that is actually sloped (they were straight on Specials).

The Buick has apparently no licence plate, and the occupants are wearing blue air force uniforms, probably members of Göring's staff. The car might have been taken away from the rightful owner shortly before, since the French plate had been removed and no German military plate was attached to it yet.
