My source doesn't mention the designer, only make and year. I guess it's worth a 2nd point if someone can prove who designed it

Looks to me like a Dodge A100 from the early 60s cut-up and dressed up alla the surrey toped Jolli of Fiat fame.

You must have the same source as me, although my understanding of the text is a little different. I don't think there was such a thing as a company called Surrey design.

This one is indeed the Resorter, but I doubt if it was ever built. The other similar vehicle is the Surrey, which was actually built on the CJ-platform. Anyway, you've identified the car, so the point is yours  :thumbsup:
