Anyone know what this is?

Has anyone seen this before, or know what it is? If you do, do you mind telling me where it has been hiding for the past 30 years?

Here's another view.

It's a 1956 concept car for Rambler. Styling was done by Ghia in Italy. Characteristic front grille styling for Ghia cars of that period. At one time this car was in the Joe Bortz Collection. Bortz has a particular interest in factory concept cars and has built his collection around these unusual, sometimes controversial, cars.

Here's a link to their web site. There's an email link on their home page, you could write them of the cars whereabouts as it isn't listed on their current list of cars in the collection. Unless this is some kind of joke (you're not streets nephew, are you?). http://bortzautocollection.com

No I'm not related to Streets, although with that money, I'd like to be. Reason I posted this one was because I'm a member of the Nash Car Club of America, and a guy wrote in asking about it. He had seen it at the Eyes on Design show, and was wondering where it had been hiding. It is currently under restoration by Bortz. I have no idea where it has been, but thought you all might know.

P. S.: I may just try to find one you all have no idea what it is. It would be fun to stump a bunch of experts.
