Bantam?
 
American Austin?
The wheels (solid) on the American Austin below are the same as on the car above as well as the front bumper.

By the way, if I recall correctly, the film "International House" (where the Austin appears) includes Bela Lugosi as a "mad scientist" planning to destroy the world with television.
