Not my usual choice of puzzle cars.

For one point, please respond and identify this racer.

The year is 1959.  But my source give me two differents names for this car: The first is Hildegas midget Indy car, the second give me Hildegas SPL Race Car Rennwagen Monoposto.  I suppose one is good :)

I would be interested to hear from any American members as to what exactly we are looking at here. I'm pretty sure the SPL part means Special, but it doesn't look much like a midget car to me, and the German text on the website refers to a Chevrolet engine. Is this typical of these cars? It also looks way too small to be a front-engined Full-size roadster, but also too low (and with no front nerf-bar) to be a speedway midget racer.
