Whatever that is, it's not the car in the picture!

This is a STEYR 55 as "Krautwagen" , form there certainly is.

Hmmmm.. looks like the same car to me too, but it's not what I have it as!
Will have to do some further investigating.
Meantime it's locked for you.

No, I've checked further and have definitive proof it is what I have it as, and that's not a Steyr.
If you can prove otherwise then I'll have a re-think, but I have to stick to saying you have not identified it.

Can't actually find any reference at all to 'Steyr' in connection with this car.  Don't know what website you are looking at, but don't think anyone would seriously call any beetle "Krautwagen".  That would be more a generic term used perhaps mainly by Americans to describe any Beetle, or any German car come to that!

Here are some more pictures to help you on your way:

I agree it looks very similar, but not the same.
Compare the rear side window, the headlight position, the front wings.  All different.
There may be a connection, of course, and they may even be built by the same coachbuilder.
But Steyr is not what I am looking for!

Simply Volkswagen then? Coachbuilder  could be Reutter or even Steyr.

It's a VW of course, but coachbuilder is neither Reutter or Steyr.

My understanding is that this company apparently made shells for Steyr and used that shell on a Kuebel-chassis. Which would make a Kohlruss KdF.
