Apologies - had missed your question.
Not from the USA.

Brazil is right!
"America" is an awfully unspecific question; when one wants to know if something is Brazilian they would not normally ask "American?"!
Describing a person as "American" means, I would say, "from the USA" 99.999% of the time!

It was a prototype of a car which did reach limited production.

Sometimes you have to try to be a bit smart.... How about Puma ?

Post by: Carnut on December 14, 2012, 02:04:41 PM: No, it's not a Puma.

It could indeed!
This is the very first Malzoni prototype.
Although it did lead to the Puma series at the time of this car there was no such thing as a Puma, so the answer to the puzzle is Malzoni.
1 point for you, and here are some more pictures:

Actually I thought they all had DKW engines..
This prototype certainly did; I've added another photo to my previous post and you can see the Auto Union rings on the grille.
