Looks rather like the ford Classic/Capri 109E but isn't.  The concrete roads look like Germany.

So Ford Taunus 13M of about 1960 ???

Yessir ! Excellent idea. Not that I have any clue for this one (I'd love to), but there are several others that I'd wouldn't mind you to move there as well...

It seems to be a rear-engined car. Has it something to do with the Corvair ?

I've read  that the Corvair was tested with this badging to throw off industrial spies from GM's cross-town rivals.
