It is a Studebaker Hawk.
This grew out of what I thought was an attractive car in the 1953 Studebaker Starliner Coupe designed by Raymond Loewy. The Hawk is sort of that car with then fashionable tail fins and the pointy rocket like bumpers which also were fashionable in the late 1950's.
The front at this angle looks like a haddock, a big rockfish or perhaps a whale shark inhaling something. Gorgeous car.Packard Hawk 1958

Studebaker made and sold some remarkable and nigh-on revolutionarily styled vehicles -- the Avanti (1963) being my personal fave.
Even after the demise of the Studebaker brand in the US, the Avanti lived on for quite a while.
I think Studebakers have gotten some airplay in this thread already, but I am happy to do another shout-out and get an excuse to post an image of one.

As a postscript, the is a nice looking, restored Hawk that lives in our town (or maybe the next town over)... I don't think I have a photo of it, though (but I will check!).
I think so (??) -- I didn't check (obviously).If I'm not mistaken, the Avanti was designed by Raymond Loewy ?
Has someone been mirroring photos, or do they build both 'handed' versions?
Never had the pleasure to drive one, but have ridden in a few that were taxis in France. Definitely a different kind of ride to them.Love the Studebaker Hawk and Avanti. I had to scroll through the thread to make sure nobody posted my absolutely favorite weird car, the Citroen SM:
I had the opportunity to drive one owned by a Citroen mechanic once and it drove like nothing else. I would love to own one.
