It's the 1948 AMP prototype powered by a Continental F-162 four-cylinder industrial engine, displacing 162 ci and rated at around 60 horsepower.
American Metal Products decided not to proceed with it, and Kaiser, who had just received government funding to produce a peoples car, bought it lock stock and barrel and developed their Henry J from it. The AMP still exists.
