Neither have I. In fact, this exact same picture has previously appeared in two other AutoPuzzles!

According to Herbert Freese's book the coupe was bodied by Wiili Huber. I'm not too sure, but it's certainly more probable than that it was bodied by Drews, because it is absolutely not their style.

One (and a half) front views and another one from the side:

AFM obviously have hoped to sell some more, but I guess it stayed a one-off.

At a time when a Volkswagen Beetle Standard was 4600.-DM and the Export version was 5400.-DM it was not cheap but not really too expensive for such an exclusive car with the 6 cyl. Opel Kapitän engine.
But in 1951 one very few Germans would have been able to afford this car.

This was a 1951 ad from a German car magazine:
