Barrett's #228 - Solved - 1954 Cadillac Eldorado by Ghia

Another drawing that, as far as I know, never made it much further. What was the base car, what firm made the design, and when for a point

You're on the right sort of track, but it's not an Exener design or a Chrysler. I see what you mean about the similarity with the Norseman though, though I believe this dates from a little earlier than that car

No, the proposed base car was made by a manufacturer who are still producing cars today
