Solved: PN #432 -- Husqvarna project, cca 1936

As far as I can tell, this one was never built - but the story is interesting. I only need the name of the wannabe manufacturer for a point

Was the drawing made by Sixten Sason?

You have a sharp eye, and it is true that Sason is visible as a signature, but even if it is his drawing (which I don't know and can't verify) I doubt it will help you find the solution to this mystery

I'm going to hazard a guess that this is a drawing of a Harley Davidson V-Twin powered car.

Well, that's all I know. According to this newspaper article from 1936 says that Husqvarna is planning to build a sportscar at Volvo

This technical drawing is from "Der Motorwagen" 04 January 1935, who repinted it from a swedish magazine, so the project must have been started even in 1934.
