It is a volvo 140 prototype design of Wilsgaard's year 1963, I am not sure but the but could be called P660. The source says that Frua and Ghia also submitted designs for the volvo 140 but wilsgaard was chosen.

That's it, yes.
The project was originally called P660 but its name had been changed to P1400 by the time of this prototype, which dates from 1962 or 1963.
It was in fact almost the final design for the 140 series apart from the front.

Well done.
