Reminds me of a Frazer, but the scale seems to point toward a smaller car ..... any connection?

I think this is one of a few ideas the Kaiser / Frazer company had for a compact "every man" car.
Some thought given to FWD or Rear engined as well as fibre composite bodies. None materialized leaving only the more conventional Henry J.

You've left one half of the puzzle question unanswered. You can have one more go at it, then I'm opening it up again.

Could this be a Darrin concept drawing for what would have become the K-85? Originally a Graham Paige property?

The half of the answer you've yet to identify is called out in the puzzle post itself.

I'll lock for another 24 hours.

Damn! I had it but I went out to get me a baguette!
I am not sure that it would have been called Henry J at the time, but it sure was a Brooks Stevens 1947 proposal for a small Kaiser-Frazer sedan.

Yep - I think ol' Henry decided to put his name on the eventual Henry J a bit later.
