Here is a special one: I don't know what it is at all.
The pictures come from a german documentary called "Fröhliche Zukunft! — Wünsche, Wunder und Visionen". This doesn't mean the car and trailer are german. It's obviously a kind of one-off.
2 points will go to the puzzler who can identify the maker and give sufficient evidence.

I came across this at IMCDB some time ago, but I´ve got no idea. There were several private attempts to streamline a car in the late 30´s or early 40´s.

All of them (think of the Phantom Corsair...) remind me of those atavistic horseshoe crabs...

Maybe horseshoe crabs and men share more DNA than commonly believed, then.

AMAZING! That's it.
Two points for this one. I'm away from home and will award the points and move it when I get back.
