    Looks like one of Lincoln Mercury show cars from about 1953 or 54. Maybe the XL-500 or something similar with a few styling cues that predicted a little of the 56 Lincoln styling. Remember the somewhat similar Lincoln Futura from about the same time ended up becoming the Batmobile from the 60's TV series.

    I was looking all over trying to figure out what it was. Knew it was a concept, but didn't know the make. Thought it was either a Kaiser/Nash, Packard, Studebaker, or maybe Plymouth. Thought I knew all of the Big 3's concepts.
    Nice to see it got restored.......
