It's an FC Jeep and probably Brooks Stevens styling.

Brooks Stevens' FC Jeep Van is correct!  :) Welcome to the Pro ranks, Hugo!

The six-door commuter van was based on Jeep's FC (forward control) truck line. Three prototypes were built, but production was never green-lighted. Unlike the forward control VW vans and trucks that were introduced a few years earlier, these were rugged work trucks, with up to 5000 lb towing capacity, 4 wheel drive, and a tiny 18 foot turning radius. Detroit introduced similar forward control trucks in the early sixties, but without 4WD.

Entry and exit would have been very easy, with 3 doors on each side...

...or FC-150 (Brooks Stevens designed 1958 Jeep FC-150 passenger van prototype, of which three were built by Reutter in 1958):

The "FC" in the model designation stood for "Forward Control," but I think you are probably looking for the specific name given to the van concept, which was "Willys Commuter."
