The car looks like a Tatra, but the guys around it look American ... Design meeting for a new American model?

The roofline and wheel openings look kind of Nash.  Could this be at Pininfarina?

Has nothing to do with Nash and not Pinin Farina related as far as I can say.

Is it a proposal for a turbine-powered Rover?

So close, but it's not a ROVER!

Nothing more than another wild guess here: An Austin?

Austin of course built a Sheerline with a turbine in it. Was the model in the puzzle picture meant to demonstrate a purpose-built car built designed around the turbine?

I suppose it could have been shown at the Austin Golden Jubilee in 1955.

Austin Gasturbine is okay for me. The year of the publication is 1957, though. One point for you.
