Had the same thought.
The grille shows a bit of old Horch/Sachsenring.

The car is a Beutler.  Built in Thun Switzerland by the brothers Beutler, they made numerous special bodied VWs and Porsches.  This would appear to be based on a 1200 VW from 1957

BMW 502 'Marburg' by Autenrieth, 1956

(I tried thinking of front-engined 50s German cars, thought of BMW and went from there.... ;))

Yes!
Well done.
