1955 Lincoln Futura...possibly an artists rendering or scale model? It doesn't look quite like the actual car...

Not 1955; not a Futura.

So it is Lincoln?

It has some styling elements of some late 50's Lincolns, but was not named as such.

This would be a clay model circa 1954 for the Ford Centaur.
