The swing axles at the rear suggest a 1950s/60s German car, so a Hansa or Borgward prototype perhaps? ???

1952 Toyopet Crown Model RS prototype. Four different prototypes have been made, each one inspired by an existing car. This one was inspired by the Ford Zephyr.

Indeed, though I have it as from 1953 but we won't split hairs!
