Very impressive.
But it has a name.  Locked for you to come up with it for the point.

Buick SIA13 3

Not that, though I'm beginning to wonder now if it wasn't an official name at all.
Anyway, have another look and see if you can find the name I have..
Still locked for you.

I've been trying to verify my facts too but I can't find any mention of the name..
I can't even find my original picutre - not even by using Google Search by Image!
I'll keep looking but might have to call it solved with the information you've given so far..

That is probably why i can't find the name you're looking for.

I still can't find my original info (it's not from the same site where you got yours) so I've given you a point for correctly identifying the car and now moving this to the Pro's board instead of the Solved, to see if there's a Pro who can either come up or disprove the name I have for it for another point.

I can find several references to the car, but the print is so small in the images that I can't read it! It is titled "Danish Modern Buick", but I'm sure that's just the title of the article, and not the "name" of the car.

Found it, SIA13 was quite helpful.
I knew it was featured in Special Interest Autos, and SIA13 was the issue #13 where I found it.
I'll upload the article right now:

I have this issue right in front of me, but the article is available online too.
If needed I can try a better scan of it.

That's great, thanks.  I'll give you a point for that.
I would say it disproves the name I had for the car, which was the Silver Fish Special..
Below is the image I took my picture from, but as said I can't find it again:

I realised that when you asked if it was called SIA13; it could only have come from Hemmings!
