Is the coach builder Dutch?

A Dutch coachbuilder was used for some versions.

A couple, or more, hints.

Very few cars of this name were built over a number of years.  They were not all built by the same coachbuilder.  They, mostly, used the same chassis/drive train but not all of them.  This model/car was the last built.

I honestly have no idea. I don't know of any Dutch coach builder. Perhaps I know the coach builder who made this, but I can't connect it right now.

Another clue.  The 'builder' was an inventor who was a passionate rally driver.

Follow that trail.  You're very close.

So, it is a 1950 Gatso 4000 Luxe, based on a Mercury chassis, with V8 engine. The bodywork was made by Dutch coachbuilder Boonakker.

Congratulations to FoMoJo for coming up with something so difficult..... I had no idea what this was and only with the latest clues did I manage to find it.

Morally, I think this one belongs to Wimmer, though..... he got Gatsonides.
