Looks a bit Fiore-ish?
Alvis proposal?

Getting slightly closer... not an Alvis, but a proposal for a British marque

Indeed it is! Congratulations. here is another sketch of the same car

Carnut

Very similar but not quite the same: compare the front wings on the front corners, the rear corner treatment and the waistline!
Must date from the late 1950s as Armstrong-Siddeley made their last car in 1960.

You're right, there are a few differences. The designs look quite modern really, I guess they are from 58 or 59, maybe even 1960. No other info unfortunately. Here's the original image

Carnut

Looks like it had a name on the front flanks.
Sapphire perhaps?
