This is shouting "Studebaker !" but I can't find more about it.

Thinking out loud:
It has the same windshield, vent windows and wheelcovers as the 53-55 Loewy coupes and (except for the wheelcovers) the later Hawks.
But it has the rear pillar found on the 1958 hardtops.
There is a chrome line and two-toning close to some 55 or 56 models and not excessive tail fins.

So all I can say is that it should be a styling proposal for the hardtops, Presidents or Hawks, 1955, 1956 or 1957.

Then I'm not sure I fully deserved that point...
I wish we could see the front but it already looks better than the production car.

Good news!  The trail does not really go cold!

(This information was available in 2008.  The car was written up in the SDC Turning Wheels magazine during 2001)

It is actually a Studebaker.  Time for a merge?
