Looks a bit Kaiser Carabella-esque, could it be a design study for a 60s IKA Carabella convertible?

It's not an IKA, no.

Could it be a true US Kaiser concept drawing?

No, it's not a drawing but a real car.
It's nothing to do with Kaiser per se, but that might be what the engine is.

Would this be the "next" Darrin? The front fenders appear to be deep enough at the cowl to accomodate the forward sliding doors.

I'm afraid not, no.

Beat me to it! From the Chicago Auto Show - 1954

The "Chicagoan," a fiberglass-bodied sports car on a 100-inch wheelbase, is seen in the right-hand portion of the exhibit space for Triplex Industries, a company that designed and fabricated custom-built models. At the left is a front view of the frame of the Chicagoan, which was advertised as a safety frame. At far left is a small display with information on "Polyester--The Miracle Plastic," used for the body of the Chicagoan.

Love the emblem. It looks familiar...  ;)

True, he didn't, but I couldn't ask him for it since you'd already posted your bit!
Should I give you a point also then?
