It looks like it might become, when completed, an Almquist Speedster. These were offered in a number of variations and wheelbases, and could be fit to Volkswagen or Renault chassis. Not sure what the third base might be...

I believe the third base car would have been a Fiat Topolino

I have another name, but I see that it is very closely related to the Almquist. VW and Renault chassis were not mentioned in the original leaflet this picture is from.

According to their brochure the body would fit 'any chassis 78" to 82", e.g. Fiat, Morris Minor and Crosley'.  That doesn't rule out others though!

These were the three names mentioned in my source. Who will find out the company I'm looking for?

Another Almquist (and the red car) were in this puzzle from 2007
