Emil Enzmann was a generalist doctor
He had a passion for new technologies and in 1953 he decided to built for himself a sportcar with a plastic body on a VW chassis
After 3 years of research the first car was ready and he decided to exhibit it at the 1957 Frankfurt car show
The car had a great success and Emil Enzmann took several orders
he decided to call the car : Enzmann 506
Enzmann as its name
506 the stand number at the Frankfurt car show
One of Emil idea to succeed to overcome the lack of rigidity of the early plastic bodies, was to suppress the doors
A hole was press fitted in the body to help the pilot and the passenger
to reach their seat
