Thinking out loud:
It has the same windshield, vent windows and wheelcovers as the 53-55 Loewy coupes and (except for the wheelcovers) the later Hawks.
But it has the rear pillar found on the 1958 hardtops.
There is a chrome line and two-toning close to some 55 or 56 models and not excessive tail fins.

So all I can say is that it should be a styling proposal for the hardtops, Presidents or Hawks, 1955, 1956 or 1957.

Then I'm not sure I fully deserved that point...
I wish we could see the front but it already looks better than the production car.

Good news!  The trail does not really go cold!

http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=21796.0

(This information was available in 2008.  The car was written up in the SDC Turning Wheels magazine during 2001)

It is actually a Studebaker.  Time for a merge?
