My guess PM'd 2 u

This car is a 1952 Studebaker Z-87 or Porsche Type 542. Sudebake had asked Porsche to designe a 4 Door car for them. The first concept was in principle a 4 door Porsche 356, But Studebaker rejected it. They wanted a bigger front engined car. Porsche presented the Type 542 or Z-87 to Studebaker but the rejected this proposal as well.

Ok, I must have fallen of the list cause I didn't see this one at all.  Ok, I'm back in!  Bring on the next one!

Hmmmph. I Googled variations on Porsche 356 4-door and it didn't show up. On the other hand, the hubcaps should have revealed a Studebaker connection.
