Those wheels and whitewall tires make me think it's something American. Style looks a bit Exner-ish, although a bit too round for him.

In other words: is it American? If yes, is it an Exner design?

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

It is American, yes.
Don't think it's Exner as I think it would have been mentioned if it was his, and it wasn't mentioned..

Yes, a proposal for something by one of them.
But of course it's only a rendering and I don't think it's an 'official' design proposal.
All I want is what it's a proposal for, and when and where this sketch was first seen.

The first thing that springs to my mind if it's a Big Three car is Corvette proposal, though I've never seen one like this. But, since it's "unofficial" I guess it could be one. Is it?

The headlights resemble some later Corvair proposals by Chuck Jordan - was this one of his drawings?

The source didn't say who drew it, but I think it's unlikely it was Chuck Jordan.

Earlier? I was hoping it's a proposal of the C2 Corvette, but apparently not. Late 50s then?
