Then I ran across this Woodhill Wildfire. A kit car built between 1952 to 1958 powered by a Willys four cylinder.

Ed after doing a little research, you are probably correct in it being a Woodhill of some type, the time line fits, I found out the maker was trying to sell west coast dealers Franchises. The color is correct because most of them seemed to use a red paint. After looking closely at the picture I think the grill does match the car in your picture in both shape, and with the body colored spear down the middle.
I still don't think the shape of the rear fenders behind the rear wheels, or the dash board upper shape match the car in your picture. But it could be model year, or just model difference, or just a trick of the lighting and angle.
Also the Dealerships location in Salt Lake City lines up with the Southern California location of the Woodhill production site.
Great detective work Ed, I think you nailed it!
