Solved - NEH 1838: DB Panhard "La Vitrine" - 1960

For an easy Rookie point - what is this car exactly and when was it built?

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

Yes, that's it.
Here are a few more pictures of this rather odd-looking car, which I believe was created from a slightly earlier (1959) car by grafting a complete new back-end on to it to improve its aeryodynamics for the 1960 Le Mans race.  I believe "La Vitrine" means "The Showcase"!:
