Who built this rolling shopping bag and when, and what name was given to it?

Yes, it's a Mitsubishi. But the type and year of manufacture are different. Locked for you.

It's getting better! The year of manufacture is correct, but the type designation is not yet.
Still Locked!

500 Super Deluxe, 594cc, 1961
hermanoto, you're right. It is a Mitsubishi 500 Super DeLuxe from 1962. In August 1961, the Mitsubishi 500 became the 500 Super DeLuxe in the course of an increase in engine capacity (493 cc / 21 hp to 594 cc / 25 hp). It was given the name Colt 600 in July 1962 and a new design at the same time, see photo.
