Thanks.
I'm strggling to find a picture of this actual car though.  It looks like a cross between the Toyopet SB (top half) and Toyopet SD (bottom half)!  There were 3 prototype Model SC cars built in 1948, but development was halted due to the demand for the SB truck chassis.  I haven't been able to pull up a single picture of these prototypes but maybe your puzzle is one of them?

This is not a Toyopet. But it is related to the Toyota group.

Still locked

Thanks.
I found the picture below by Googling 'Kanto Electric Motor Works cars' in Japanese!  Now the problem is deciphering what it says...
It is clearly a model BA, but Google-translating what it says in Japanese beneath it it comes up with "November 24 BA sedan NEC manufacturing automobile 90 units manufactured from November 24 to February 26"!
So is it an NEC Model BA?  I didn't know NEC was anything to do with Toyota...
Or is it a Kanto Model BA?!
Must be one or the other, but whatever it's called it was made at the Kanto Electric Motor Works, which was owned by Toyota..

[pnegyesi]

And you found it! It is an electric vehicle by Kanto Auto Works, model designation is BA

I've found a bit more about this car from a book.
As per the caption it was made by Kanto Electric for Denka and was marketed by Denka; I think Kanto only supplied bodies to other manufacturers and didn't make any cars badged or sold as a Kanto.
The car was pictured on the Denka page in the book.
