Is it Ford-based?

US chassis and oily bits, non-USA body?
Yes
This top-heavy thing really mystifies me. :o The only chassis I can think of which might be underneath is a 1948 Playboy. That's the sole American-made car of the 40s with such a compact layout. The wheels ring no bells with me with their odd souffle-shaped hubcaps. And which European country would have actually bothered to do such a conversion, I can't imagine. Hope someone solves it, I'm dying to know! :)
Not based on a Playboy
Based on a Jeep?
Built in the Netherlands?
Yes, based on a Jeep, and no, not built in the Netherlands.
Not British, French, German or Dutch. Who else would have war-surplus Jeeps to play with? Belgian?
Not from Belgium
Wow, a car based on a wartime Jeep. Think of the flowing ride, the comfort, the quietness that the passengers would experience. The mind boggles. :lmao:
From Italy?
No
Not British, French, German, Dutch, Belgian or Italian. Could it be Austrian?
It is.

As stated before, it is a rebodied Jeep where "just" the coachbuilder from Wiener Neustadt has to be found.

The wagon of similar design:
And finally the puzzle car on the cover of two issues of an Austrian coachbuilding magazine:
