I must admit, I would never have guessed it was from Belgium.

Built in 1959 by Edmond Pery (one of the founders of Apal) its based on a DKW 3=6 and uses Auto Union 1000 parts.
He called it "Casino Pery"
Unfortunately the front is as ugly as the back  :o

The front reminds me of the Buick Centurion Concept car a bit:

Hopefully not a repost, although I have a vague feeling that I may have posted this one some years ago (but can't find it on Search).

So, for a point, who made this, in what year, and what mechanical base does it use?

No idea who made it, but the steering wheel shape, the column shift and the wheels suggest to me 1950s Humber Hawk.

Yes, the car is European, as is its mechanical base. ;)
