If it were right hand drive, I would suggest Hindustan Ambassador.  Is it an export model?

I don´t think it´s american. But it has the US look of the early 50s, of course.

Was this the work of a european coachbuilder?

:bump:

The modern (for its time) yet conservative styling of this car makes it appear smaller than it is. This is a rather large car.

More eastern European than Gibralter, but technically, from western Europe.  ;)

Well it's certainly an interesting car, and it looks well used. You might not expect to see the bumpers all dented up on such a vehicle!
Just curious, do you have other shots of the car?

Is the body Italian?

1950 Chrysler with body by Pinin Farina, on a New Yorker chassis.
