I've NO idea what this is, but it sure looks to be GM-related.

But, I've been wrong before...LOL!

Do you have any information about this car?

That 1972 model has a number of 1973 bodylines/characteristics.....

n 1972, GM sold this experimental safety car to NHTSA for $1 as its contribution to demonstrate advanced safety features. Heavily reinforced side pillars, air bags, and thick interior padding protected passengers in crashes up to 30 mph. The car was shown at the 1972 Detroit Auto Show.

The car also had very thin A pillars for visibility and a sideways-opening trunk lid for loading from curbside. At the same time, Ford also built a safety car for the NHTSA which exhibited some 1973-1974 styling features.
