Looks to be custom-built. This looks to be a 1955 Hawk coupe with the roof removed and the fibreglass fins from a 1957 model added. The factory did not do a convertible in this era. If this is France - maybe it was done by Chapron???

It just occurred to me that this car looked familiar. We have seen it before - /vehicle_256098-Studebaker-1955.html

Tried searching Studebaker cabriolet. Seems Ghia-Aigle did one in 1954 - http://www.oldtimer.400.pl/ghia-aigle.html - maybe a red herring. Maybe another red herring - google found this link - http://www.hetutrechtsarchief.nl/collectie/kranten/un/1966/0729 but I can't read anything from it.

Yes! Same car.
We discussed it in great detail in the linked thread.
Modified '55, but rather well done.

(Of course, I'm a purist, so.......)
