AFM is correct.  Now I locked the puzzle for you for give me the model name.

AFM had no real modelnames. It is a 1950 F2 typ built by Huber, Chiemsee.

That is new ! AFAIK there were only  4 AFM F2 plus 1 "Kleinstrennwagen" built.
One in 1949 driven by Falkenhausen, Stuck, Brauchitsch and L.Fischer til 1953
In 1950 there was one car built for Stuck with the Küchen V8 (later (1954) converted into a Sportscar by Suisse Heine Walter) and one for Riess, later Krakau and Niedermayr
A third car was built as a Kitcar by Karl Gomann from Remscheid him self at his premesis. He was killed in this car at Grenzlandring 1950. Later Bechem brought that car and converted it into a Sportscar.
A socalled "Kleinstrennwagen" (750cc German racingcar class) was built by Drews, Wuppertal for l Emil Vorster. After an accident with a killed spectator at AAchen he sold his cars to Willi Heeks, Heeks fitted the car with a BMW 328 engine. In 1952 the car got a Huber body too. It ended up in England and was raced in Formula Libre races til mid-60s.  Falkenhausen never had any typ or modelnames besides F2 or sportscar / engine capacity.

This car is usually referred to as the third AFM 50. It was built for Fritz Riess. It could be equipped with an interchangeable streamline body which was a puzzle here before: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/new-board/wendax-3226/msg521151/#msg521151

That's from Sheldon's "Black Books or from Üchtel's Phoenix from the flames, part 2 given just for identification. No "real" model names.
