The body is Mercedes Benz "finnie" with a wagon modification but the wheelbase suggests something larger, maybe Bentley judging by the grill and wheel trims.

Spot-on! It is indeed a Bentley that had an unfortunate accident with a M-B fintail!
Locked for you for 24hrs to come up with a complete answer, although I doubt you will need that long!

That is probably the best-looking view of this car.  Try these on for size:

I think I've changed my mind about this car, in fact it's pretty cool and has had a nice restoration.  I like the tail lights in particular.
