Emil Enzmann (November 26, 1921 in Schüpfheim; †August 12, 2016 in Waldkirch) was a Swiss doctor and car designer.
In the early 1950s, the country doctor Emil Enzmann built a sports car with a plastic body on his own on a VW Beetle chassis. This was made of polyester and was particularly stiff due to its doorless construction. After a lengthy testing phase, the car was shown in 1956 in Lausanne at the Comptoir Suisse and a year later as the Enzmann 506 at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt. The Enzmann 506 was manufactured in small series until 1968.
