Does anyone know who makes the Automite? In a previous puzzle:
 https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2016-45/neh-4773/msg410156/#msg410156
seems to indicate that its origin is Italy but in the
"World's Largest Automobile Encyclopedia" an Automite vehicle appears whose body is as ugly and cubist as this puzzle but made in Maryland (USA) and also appears with the FNV brand model "Curipura" that was manufactured in Brazil.
On the other hand the word Automite does not seem Italian, rather it seems of English origin. Who can clarify it?
