Hopefully, I can get a locked puzzle for myself. This car is supposed to represent a 1951 Buick Lesabre concept car by designer Harley Earl. :)

This is a proposal for the '59 Buicks (actually done in early 1957) which draws on the early fifties Le Sabre concepts whcgt mentions.

Thankfully someone saw sense before the final production '59s were signed off...

Correct in fact, and in spirit (though production '59 Buick's are not my favorites either)
