That is a prototype or a drawing of the protoype of what was to be the 1966 Study. It was designed by Brooks Stevens for Studebaker. As far as I can find only the two door hardtop prototype was built and it was named Sceptre.

Not a Stude, nor Sceptre.

It looks suspiciously like a Ford Aurora.

Thanks

Actually the book I got this from called it a 'Mercury Aurora' but I see from most websites it is in fact correctly called the Ford Aurora.  Still doesn't explain why simply putting 'Aurora' into the Search, as I did, didn't come up with your puzzle...
