It's called the Jurisch Motoplan. It was built by Carl Jurisch of Altdorf, Germany. From 1957 through 1959, he turned out three examples: one red and two blue. It had a 173cc single-cylinder engine making 9.5 horsepower. Top speed is 54 mph. I think it was a concept car and didn't actually build very many. Cute though! Apparently designed around a motorcycle sidecar....

Looks like a toy car.
@ James: Essentially, yes. [grin] Lot of this sort of thing around in the late 50's/early 60's across Europe.
