This "Chicken Car" reminds me of these Ford trucks.
I've had this picture in my files for many years. I just noticed that nearly every truck has the optional "light duty grille guard" which I've only seen the 1953 Accessories catalog.

I really wanted to upload some of the pix on this website but they were of some type of pic that wouldn't load. Look at the pix of the Gyronout X-1 and you'll see better pix.
Thanks for the Heinkel information. I had never heard of it/them. Ya learn something new every day don't you? I also thought it was an Isetta until you enlightened us.

Well, I learned something today. I had no idea there were so many companies that made "front door" cars like this. I was familiar with Isetta, and just assumed this was one. Very interesting. (said in an Arte Johnson accent)
