To me it looks like, or is based on, a late 1940s Studebaker Starlight Coupe. The grille, however, is anything but Studebaker, so I think it may be a Studebaker built in a country other than the USA, exported in CKD form? Canada, maybe?

I was hoping for a some Studebaker replies but Iluvatar is absolutely right Richard!
Well done.

Even Francis Lombardi called the car Tipo Studebaker in its advertising material

'Tipo Studebaker'?? Lombardi must have been in his 'Oh That's Nice, Let's Just Copy That!' phase. And you there you were thinking this kind of thing only went on in developing Far Eastern countries! But first the Lancia in AP earlier, now this. What kind of disillusionment can we expect next?  ;) ;D ;D ;D
