Which car is this?

Given the styling cues, I'd say it is from the mid to late 1950s, but no idea what it is ... or if that year span is even correct. Almost looks like an Edsel of some sort, but I'm guessing that is incorrect, too....

Yes, you´re right , it´s not an Edsel

Because of the V in the grille that looks identical to the V in the Vignale logo...I think of a Vignale.

But the car looks horrible, so it is probably not a Vignale creation...

There is a 1958 Chevrolet Impala underneath? being a proposal for an automobile production in Brazil...
That guy looks like Juscelino Kubitschek!

Indeed, he is Juscelino Kubitscheck. I didn´t find anything about the engine, but this cars was from Brazil.

João · September 09, 2009, 07:44:48 PM

There is a specific name for it? !!!

jotage21 · September 10, 2009, 02:15:05 PM

yes, there is a name

pnegyesi · September 11, 2009, 04:00:23 AM

Could this be an Aero-Willys prototype?

Earlier I made a remark on early 1950s prototypes in Brazil, but then I realized that this car is younger so that's why I have this new guess.

jotage21 · September 12, 2009, 12:30:43 PM

no Willys

pros

Paul Jaray · September 18, 2009, 05:39:54 AM

I'd say Chemunis.

jotage21 · September 18, 2009, 08:38:42 AM

Ok, it´s right, but I don´t have any idea how did you find this. The only picture that I have is this, collected from an old newspaper.

Ray B. · September 18, 2009, 08:46:31 AM

No, I am quite sure I had seen it on the internet some time ago, but I was unable to find it back.

There is some new info about this car: 1958 Chevrolet based. New pictures.

kwgibbs · December 07, 2014, 03:29:42 PM

hello,I came across some additional info. chemunis was built in 1958,in Sao Paulo,by Jamie muniz .it appeared to have a panoramic windshield,two-tone painting,dual headlights,bumpers massudos,large motor and chrome.His lines were a mixture of several US models; the front bumper was mercury style, rear fenders were chervrolet Bel-Air and headlights were dodge,and of course the triangular grid imitating the ill-fated Edsel.It was built in a single copy it mentions the body was sheet steel molded and hammered. I myself really enjoy these rather oddball one-off creations.

grobmotorix · December 09, 2014, 12:44:04 PM

Agreed!
