So similar as to be identical. ;) You're far off on the year, but the point is yours just the same.

Are you sure that the car was built in 1951? It looks younger to me. Or is it just that the VW chassis was from 1951?

You could be right. I took the year from a YT video in which the current owner talks about the history of the car. I think the video may have been in Portuguese, which I can't understand, so I probably mixed it up while trying to take notes. I'll look for the video again.

Covered headlights, front air dam, kamm tail : surely not from 1951. Late 50s at best, more probably mid 60s.

I rewatched part of the video with English subtitles. Near the beginning, the host refers to the car as a 1951 model, then goes on to state that it was constructed in the builder's garage in 1951. I didn't watch the entire video this time, so perhaps they discuss the timeline in more detail later in the video. In case someone else would like to watch it:

YT channel:  Didi TV
Video title:  *UNICO NO MUNDO* FABRICADO EM CASA HÁ MAIS DE 70 ANOS !!!
Dated posted:  03 Nov 2024

I agree that it looks far too modern for the 1950s, so I'm removing the year from the thread title.
