Is this based on or powered by a late 40s, early 50s Dodge, possibly a Wayfarer?

I'm afraid it's a long way away from that!

My last post contained a slight error - it should have said Staunau.
I know it's not that but is it German?

DKW-Engined special built by a Hans Hehner is Sweden some time in the late 40s/early 50s. I'm afraid I can't add any more than that.

Well done - yes, you found it!
It was indeed built by Hehner in Borgholm, Sweden in 1948 and sports a DKW twin, somewhat disappointingly as it really looks like it should have a nice smooth straight six under that bonnet!
