Call me a skeptic, but I have a difficult time believing this is a styling mock-up from the "DeSoto Design Studios". I own several books regarding automotive styling exercises of the 1950's, and most styling exercise models look much less crude than this model. I'm guessing this is somebody's home built model. Thoughts?
