What is this car?
Who designed it?
Who built it?
When was it built?

You know the car all right.  But who designed it, for the point?
(I have the year as 1952 but it could equally be 1953 I'm sure..)

Most likely Mario Boano signed off on the design having "borrowed" very much from Chrysler's Virgil Exner
& his design for the '52 Ghia built Thomas special....?
