This is not an artigianal self-built car, but was offered for sale by an estabilished company.

Good question.
Nope, the same company made other vehicles, also with a different company's name...

Not microcars and not Quincy-Lynn.
The other vehicles were ...quite unusual...but not that rare in those years.

There seems to be a wide range of options, from 4 to 8 cylinders but not a word about the donors.

Street legal vehicles, not commercial ones.
Not replicas, kit-cars, neoclassics, microcars, woody-wagons, hearses, ambulances, buggies, etc..
..but a kind of vehicles we rarely feature here.
