The source of inspiration is obvious.

For one point, please respond and identify this car by naming its builder and its base.

I'm quite sure that this Studebaker looking car was made using a Bmw base, if I remember well a 309. I can't remember the name of the man who did it...if you could look it until tomorrow I will be able to check my archive.

It is based on a BMW 309.

Locked for you.

This car was made in 1951 by Dagfinn Rastad from Narvik (Norway), using a 1934 Bmw 309 coupe'; the bodywork was done with the help of Karosseriemakerne Louis Staer and Dagmar Haugen.
I met this car on the net some time ago when I was searching for some news about Bmw 309 coupe' that was said to be a Bugatti design, a subject of a quiz of mine.

Another source says that it is a "1934 BMW 309 Coupe chassis 63665 re-bodied by B. Bjørgulfson & Co A/S Automobilforretning - Karosserifabrikk in 1951" along with the note, "new Studebaker-influenced body designed by Ludvig Staer at Bjørgulfson."
