1954 Porsche SUV?
Looks like Porsche was into SUV's before the Cayenne! Here's what I found... Hope I inserted the picture right!
If the rugged little 597 had gone into large-scale production, the Porsche company might be as well known today for its off-road vehicles as it is for its sports cars! Armed with this experience, Porsche designed the Type 597 Jagdwagen (Hunting Car, pronounced: Yahgt-vahgen), which seemed to combine elements of both the Kuebelwagen and the Schwimmwagen. Production began in 1954, and these cars were built...of all places...in the race shop alongside 356GT’s and 550 Spyders destined for the racetracks of the world!

It looks very much like the Iltis (Iltiss?) vehicle the Canadian army uses.
