While the numbers on the plate might be misleading, the placement of the plate on the rear of this car is a significant clue.

If one could determine the previous location of the plate on this production-based prototype, one might be able to determine why it was moved, and, therefor, identify the car!

It does look like a 1957-1958 Plymouth rear bumper, lacking some decor on the trunk, but with the license plate at the right place so I didn't see what Karn meant...
Well I checked and here it is: this is a 1958 Plymouth proto carrying the CR2 turbine engine, with the four central outlets in the bumper.

If the plate were down there, it could very well be roasted.

Good job ID'ing this one!
