Cadillac?
Not a Cadillac, but it is an Italian carrosserie's work, based on an American car.
But it is US-amercan?
Your edited in the answer KU, thanks.
is that a Buick crest in the grille?
Dan
Wild guess but Packard revival car?
If it isn't a Buick crest, maybe it's a Ghia badge...and the car is based on a Mustang platform?
Dan
No, and no.
Hmm, I was thinking on the Oldsmobile Thor, but you said it not a Ghia car.
No.
FWIW, the Thor (to my eyes, anyway) is instantly recognizable as a Toronado. However, pictures of the car are virtually impossible to find.
Looks AMC to me, I'll guess a Ghia Ambassador of some sort..........
Not AMC.
:bump:
Chrysler
Very close...
plymouth
Yep - based on a Plymouth. Now, what is it?
"Based on a Plymouth"...meaning it isn't a Plymouth?
It has a two-word name, and was presented by an Italian company as a "<Company> <Model Name>". The name of the Italian company in the aforementioned title is not the name of the company that designed it. It has a Plymouth powertrain and other bits.
Nardi Silver Roy by Michelotti
It's Silver RAY...last car Nardi ever built. But Erbas was close enough for my tastes...

The Nardi "Silver Ray" by Michelotti. This car is featured in the 1962 International Auto Parade yearbook. In Automobile Year #9 (1961-62) there is another picture of the same car on page 101 with the caption:
"This low two seater coupe has a body designed by MIchelotti on a Nardi chassis to the order of an American client (James Simpson). The Plymouth Golden Commando V-8 engine develops about 350BHP giving it a maximum speed of about 140mph. The frame is tubular, suspension is by modified Alfa Romeo coil spring units at the front and semi elliptic springs at the rear; brakes are discs on all four wheels."
Nothing to add except of some pictures.
the master and the client:
