Very close, and the body was built by Bill Tritt, but it's not actually a Glasspar!
Locked for you to take another look.

Bill Tritt's first fiberglass sports car, known as the Brooks Boxer. Built in june 1951 and debuted at the Petersen Motorama in November of the same year.
I know many fiberglass cars, but didn't know anything about this car.

Quite so!
The original car that became the Glasspar of course.
It was apparently Ken Brooks's idea to make a fiberglass sports car using a Kaiser chassis and Willys four-banger engine.
He approached Bill Tritt to build the body for him and the rest, as they say, is history!
