This is not truly a car, but it's based on one from a relatively well-known manufacturer. Another vehicle of this kind has already been the subject of a puzzle. So...

1940s... made by a well known brand? (like ~ Kaiser, Willys or Nash for instance?)
Is/was it from an independent manufacurer at all?

The "design" lets me think of Powell (PMC)

I didn't know Powell or PMC. I checked. Maybe. I honestly dont know, because I realize that I don't know what company made this. My question was "what is it based on?". I just didn't formulate it well.

So: what is it based on? If you find the maker's name, well, this will make a well deserved extra point.

YES! So there is a Powel in this in the end. It was used in small airports.

Sorry, Arunas, it was made in the forties, but you arrive too late and there was no point for that anyway.
