I believe this is 'TOOTSIETOY' and it looks like the name is just visible tucked up behind the front wheels. Early 1960's.

Thank you Ghostery for the help.
I still have a model of Tootsietoy found in my collection.
This U.S.A. RABBIT. This has no similarity in with Jepp.
Except for the axes and the axis fastening.
Greetings Mike & Nico

This is based on the VW Golf/Rabbit car and because of it's market sector, is a bit of a caricature type of model, not a fully detailed rendition of the car. It comes from a substational range of similar cars and trucks, at least 30 subjects in the range including Ford Mustang, Triumph TR3, Jaguar XK140 and Mercedes-Benz coupe.

Don't TootsieToy always stamp their bases? I think this looks very similar to the Midgetoy range
