I only found a picture from 1953, but the car still has a different body. So I'm guessing 1954.

my source tells me 1953.  But you are right, the photo dates from 1955. I do not have the documents allowing me to compare it with the 1953 model.  You have one more point sichel;

Thanks for point and puzzle. Here a photo from 1953 of Josef Ortschnitt and his racer.

Sichel's picture shows the Weiser Windsbraut driven by Josef Ortschitt and puzzled here before: https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2016-45/bd386
