What is this car?
Who designed it?
Who built it?
When was it built?
1 point for all-correct answers!

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

You know the car all right.  But who designed it, for the point?
(I have the year as 1952 but it could equally be 1953 I'm sure..)
Locked for your reply.

Most likely Mario Boano signed off on the design having "borrowed" very much from Chrysler's Virgil Exner
& his design for the '52 Ghia built Thomas special....?
