Sorry, my last reply meant that Pininfarina was already ruled out.
The year 1958 is correct, AFAIK.

Yes, I was going to say 1958 and in fact I Googled using 1958 but thought it just looked a bit too advanced with that twin-headlight front for 1958 so I thought I'd try 1961 first..

Then I was going to try 1958 if '61 was wrong!

Will keep searching but so far Google has failed to yield any results..

He worked for a long time as a designer for major automobile companies, but his best known design wasn't an automobile.

Congratulations, it is Hans A. Muth, long time automotive illustrator, Ford designer, BMW interior and motorcycle designer. Nowadays best known for his design of the  BMW R 90 S, R 100 RS and the Suzuki Katana. This Porsche proposal from 1958 is from his work for the German automotive magazines "Motor Revue" and "auto motor und sport".
