What's this, by whom, from when - for 1 point?

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!

Sure I know (or at least I know a book that knows...) but I need to check (and it's at home). Be patient, please...  ;)

My sources only say "late 40s". I don't have an exact year nor further details on this little car.

Near enough.  My source actually quotes 1949.

Odd-looking thing, but in its context (1949) it probably looked quite good!
