Grille looks like it came off some 2014 SUV or truck!

 

ken.

The grill appears to have a hole in it to insert a crank. I wouldn't think that would have been necessary in 50's. (Although my first car was a 1960 Hillman that I had to start with a crank because the ring gear on the flywheel was stripped.) Could the grill have been borrowed from an older vehicle?

Pretty sporty car there.  All the companies had concept, futuristic cars back in the 50s.  Fun to see today how many of

their features became reality.  As said.....that grille resembles some used in today's vehicles of various types.  

 

They usually put fancy wheels on those concepts......who'd a thought virtually every new car today would come

with "mag" style wheels as standard issue.   Lots of other features that finally became reallty.
