I visited a good friend of mine in Scandinavia last week, he always has a few interesting cars; there's a Overland-based hotrod as WIP, a Jag, an Anglia, Cortina and a Corvette. However, when he showed me this recent addition to his fleet I had no idea what it was, it has been partly stripped for restoration and has rust like I've never seen before. Can you guess what it is? I'll post a completely worthless prize to the first person (if there is one) to correctly guess the make and model. I'll answer any questions without giving the game away and will add further pics later as I doubt anyone will get it from this one - which shows my shoe through what used to be part of the floor (!) Guess away!

I reckon it's got to be a 50s Chrysler Corp product with rot like that!

I first thought of a Panhard or citroen ds due to the round shape, but the bumper doesn't seem to add up...

I was thinking something like a SAAB 92, but it is a bit to curved

Drop me a DM with your address and I will post a pathetic prize.
