All I can say for sure is that it's a) German b) around 1958-61 era.

Pretty sure that's a Porsche 356 turn signal.

I hate the newer taillights - they look like blisters sticking up out of the body.
 
I'm also not a fan of the smiling grille on the 612, though the rest of the car looks nice.

It sure is a 356 but just which 356 (there are subtle differences).
 
It looks like it has the wheels simple hubcaps from a 356A (note Ruetter emblem)>
">
 
..but the twin Grilles in back denote a 356B/T6 ('62 or '63) as does the fuel filler door on the right in the first shot>

 
..Okay it's a 356B/T6 with older wheels but what the heck is that "60" on the trunk lid, there was a "Super 90" but I never heard of a 356/60?

Good questions - who knows, over the years the many owners may have pieced it together part by part...

"Now, up to now my plan went all right
'Til we tried to put it all together one night
And that's when we noticed that something was definitely wrong.
 
The transmission was a '53
And the motor turned out to be a '73
And when we tried to put in the bolts all the holes were gone.".....

Now the headlight' was another sight
We had two on the left and one on the right
But when we pulled out the switch all three of 'em come on.
