Anyone recognize this vehicle?

Apologies for the join, the two pages were of different quality so I joined them as best I could in the laziest possible manner.

With a tip of the hat to mymokke's reasoning on NEH 4071, I would suggest this is a Plymouth concept

Whilst that is excellent reasoning, and that post is indeed the reason I dug this one up, this is unfortunately not a Plymouth.

No it was not.
(That is to say, it's not mentioned as an influence, though inspiration could well have been drawn from it.)

I've not been able to find anything that indicates any progression past this drawing.
