Who designed this nice little convertible? When was it?
The basic vehicle is obvious, but please name it anyway.

Locked for you.
The designer's name has a typo. The Lloyd 600 did not exist in 1954.

Yes, it is a Lloyd 600 convertible, built in 1955 1957 by R. Hernandez at Borgward. There was already a model with sliding windows based on the Lloy 400 in 1954 and then a third car which was later sold to a Borgward agency. Where did it go?

I think there are some errors:
the puzzle Lloyd 600 convertible was built in 1957 according to Peter Michels' book,
the last picture does not show a Lloyd 400, because the turning lights and rear lights surely are from the Lloyd 600 as well as the front wings (no provisions made for the Lloyd 400 turning lights beneath the headlights), chrome trim and bumpers without overriders just like the Lloyd Alexander (appeared in 1957), so it shouldn't be 1954 either as the visible door hinges just disappeared at the end of 1954. Last but not least the red license plate is numerically very close to the one on the later car. My guess would be that it was a first try or an earlier version of the 1957 car just built around then, too.

Corrected. The sliding windows have led me astray. I didn't realize that the first 600s also had them.
