Could be a '56 or a '57.
Kinda think it must be some sort of factory show car.
If it where a custom, there's little chance a 4dr. would've been used.

Now I think the roof and window shapes are telling me it's gotta be a Chrysler.

Listen to that roof, and those windows.

This was done 2 or three years before the years guessed so far.

Off on a tangerine again...  My very first guess was Packard but I'm now looking into Plymouth.

This is a styling proposal for the 1957 Chrysler, from 1954.  It's a New Yorker, particularly...
