Nope. It's a bit smaller than that.

Is it the Ghia designed prototype for the new Simca-Sport as displayed at the Grand-Palais in October 1954?

Ghia Abarth based on a Simca Aronde 1953 chassis. There was also a coupé version.

Well done, gentlemen.

It's a 1954 Simca by Ghia, very much in the style of the Ghia Fire Arrows built for Chrysler.

Here's a shot of the coupe version.
