It appears to be on display at an assemblage of early Porsches, so I am guessing it is a rear engined, air cooled something or other.  I am also guessing that the designer of the "spinner" hubs may have also perfected the first weed whacker.   :o

Lessee......German rear engined air cooled cars that are not VW's or Porsches.  Hmmmmm.......NSU?     ???

You are SO laconic, sir! 

A.  Is it a rear engined, air cooled vehicle?

B.  Is it German in origin?

Great puzzle.  But the NSDU guesser wasn't *real* far off, because the Rometsch Karmann-Ghia coupe ( I don't mean the obvious K-Gs but the Rometsch)--close relative of this puzzle car, actually *did* get much of the work done at NSU, though the coupe too was marketed as a V W.
