I'm likely in the strong minority here, but I'd walk right past this thing.  I see no car in it worth looking at.  Sorry!  But you are right, it is something different.

Esval made a model of this car in 1/43. Here's a very early "My Take" showing several post-war cars.

Beautiful automobile. I see a number of auto styling cues in it, including its nose, Auburn boattail influence and, of course a Jag XK reminder.

A stunning car, perfectly in keeping with personal sports car of the day - thinking Nash Healey - but big, like the 1940 Chrysler Newport dual cowl phaeton show cars.

A super presentation by John, too!

Two great analogies!
