What is this and from when does it date, for 1 point?

Google Search by Image 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 Search by Image 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!

To clarify, if I may. This clay is from 1958, before the Comet was launched. It was a proposed design for a "B" range Edsel, built on the same platform that would underpin the 1960-63 Ford Falcon and Mercury Comet, and the short-lived intermediate version of the Mercury Meteor (1962-63). So, it wasn't technically based on the Comet, as they were developed during the same program.
