G'day Mel.

I'm fascinated by the backrests. To me they look like rectangular airbags, each supported by a length of bent 2 inch pipe?

Lots of glass and minimal framing.

American?

They look very comfortable. Must be American then.

No sliding armrests, therefore not American?

Husky?

With only 12 Huskies completed, Fairchild Industries went bankrupt, forcing the eventual demise of the parent company in 1948 and the surrender of its charter in 1950.
