Quite an organic design.

For one point, please respond and identify the person who did this design and the year it was made.

The rear wheel looks very different. So maybe this was planned like a Megola engine?

This must be left to imagination. On the proposal there are no remarks about the engine, just the dimensions and weight of the car as well as the proposed maximum speed of 100 km/h. It probably would have been powered by a motorcycle engine.

Was it from an established car manufacturer? (I'm assuming it's not!)

No, it was done by an engineer who worked on several fields, as aviation, engines, cars, mechanisms and many more. He made a lot of inventions, but is not widely known.

Amazing (or unbelievable)! You found it. It is the proposed "Sport- und Reisewagen" (Sports and travel car) by Curt Lehmann from Oschatz, Germany. One of his many jobs was as chief engineer at the Koco car works. But the profession that made him famous was the maintenance and repair of ancient clocks, especially church clocks. Quite universally gifted, that man.
