It looks like a 1950s American rendition of a Vignale coupe of some kind.

It is a Morgan bodied by a coachbuilder from Luxembourg, called Conrardy. I think it is from 1953 ; the complete name was, I think, Morgan - Conrardy Grand Sport.

Yup, well done! Another mini-sized country with a car-making underbelly. Created by Paul Conrardy.

The car looks fancier than she does.

For one point, please respond and identify this car.

It was pointed out to me that this one is a repost, so I won't move it to the pros, and keep it here for a while.
If it won't be solved in reasonable time, I will have it merged with the original puzzle.

I'll keep it one more week at expert level. If it won't be solved by then, I'll have it merged.
