Solved: Wendax 111 - Hans A. Muth proposal for a four-seater Porsche 1958

This one was just a proposal and was never realized.

For one point, please respond and identify the make, the artist and the year.

This looks very much like a Porsche proposal I've seen but I can't remember where.
Am I on the right track?

Yes, it is a proposal for a Porsche. After you found out the What, tell me the Who and When.

The unaltered proposal:

In order to spare you the work of going through the carrozzerias (and me always answering "no"): it is not Italian.

No, in fact it was not done by a coachbuilding company, but by an individual.

Goertz proposal for an up-dated 356?  Maybe around 1959/60?

Bad news! The year went in the wrong direction, and it is not time for further clues yet.
