I don't think this has a name, but what's it made up of and where was it made?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.

I'll try :

First it was a Eastern European or Russian creation,than a modified Trabant, DKW or even a Sunbeam Alpine.

No conclusion.

The information I have doesn't mention any of those bits or sources, but what it does mention is the chassis, engine, front window, rear window, side windows also what it started out life as and when. 
So that's what I need to know to award the point.
Still locked for you to see if you can find those.

It's not a name mentioned, although I can't categorically say there's no Studebaker in it...
