Not a Studebaker and no connection to Brooks Stevens that I'm aware of.

That's right, yes, but although it says on the Internet that the year was 1976 I believe it was a little earler.
What year was it really from, for your point?
Locked for you.

It says 1973, but in the drawing the plate shows 1976 ... I have not found anything else about this mysterious concept ..

That's right, yes.
It says it was designed by an unknown designer in 1973; I guess the '1976' on the licence plate is when the proposal was to be produced (a bit more optimistic than 'never'!)

Well done.
