What is the name of this car, who designed it, and where was he working at the time?

[FrontMan]

Cute!  Never seen this before, but it looks like a Gordon Buehrig type of thing. Cordette?

LOCKED for the FrontMan.

It is a Gordon Buehrig thing, but it is not called Cordette.  You have 24 hours to find out what it was called, and where he was working at the time.

Thanks!
This must be the Wowser, made at Budd Body Corp.  It looks closer to the new VW Beetle than to the original Beetle.  Nothing changes but the calander.

One point to FrontMan for the correct answer.

Am I imagining, or is that similar in appearance to the '39-'41 Willys cars?

May have influenced the Chrysler PT Cruiser, too
