Nice drawing. Who did it? And what concept was he trying to visualize?

The concept can be a sort of symetric design to save money with the molds...looks italian, but my guess will be US.

Is the designer a well known one? Like Tjaarda?

Since it somewhat looks like a STudebaker, could it be Brooks Stevens ?

The concept he was trying to visualize was more or less 'salvation through semplification'  ;D !

A point each for DynaMike and Paul Jaray.

December 12, 1963, when he met with Charlie Sorensen to design an inexpensive, lightweight, all-fiberglass unit-body car that could theoretically save Studebaker’s automotive business, Brooks Stevens worked up the designs and Sorensen worked up the production methods and costs. But, of course, Studebaker shot the design down before it had much of a chance to fly.

The design was a fiberglass car made of two mirror-image fiberglass modules, to reduce production costs.
