We had the surviving Scootavia threewheeler prototype before (which was built for a lumberjack): http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=16004.msg149923#msg149923

The person behind this was André Morin, and the trike was based on the Scootavia scooter that he also built in the early 1950s.

It might not be the same car, but I think there was a Scootavia already?

Scootavia was a scooter brand created by Morin, I believe.
