The Peugeot 402 is a large family car produced in Sochaux, France from 1935 to 1942 by Peugeot. It was unveiled at the Paris Motor Show in 1935.
The 402 was characterized by what became during the 1930s a "typically Peugeot" front end, with headlights well set back behind the grille. The style of the body was reminiscent of the Chrysler Airflow. Streamlining was a feature of French car design in the 1930s. Peugeot was among the first volume manufacturers to apply streamlining.
Recessed ‘safety’ door handles also highlighted the car's innovative aspirations, as did the advertised automatic transmission and diesel engine options.
DUBRAY, or J.M. Dubray or JMD was a French producer of built and kit resin Peugeots and Citroens in 1:43 scale. One of the earliest specialists in resin, appearing in the '70s. I purchased several Peugeots from them in the 1970s and 80s, this being one of them. They were well detailed for the time.
Here are a few other variations.

I had a blue one and a red fire chief's car, since sold. They made some nice Citroen Traction Avants too
