De Soto: yes. Name and year ?
I am giving jotage 21 until the 12 to give those precisions. Then anyone who finds them will steal the point.

Could I answer?

This car is 1942 DeSoto "Cyclone"!

"This rendering for a futuristic streamliner has all the qualities of an Alex Tremulis exersize, and may have been an intended companion to the Tremulis-designed 1941 Chrysler Thunderbolt showcars. In honor of this speculation, Area "EX" has designated this car "Cyclone."

Tremulis later became chief stylist at Tucker. Note the Tucker-like prow dividing the bumper/grille combination. Headlamp doors and front fenders bear a strong resemblence to those used on the production 1942 DeSoto."

Of course you can, since jotage 21 seems to have gone fishing.

A perfect identification !
