Probably not too hard but certainly shows off how good a car could look way back when..
Nope, definitely not the Austin A40.
However, you are confusing me with that pic of an Auburn, which had no connection (as far as I know) to the American Bantam company!
What is the connection as you see it?
Be that as it may, most folks seem to be unaware that the tiny American Bantam company (NOT Willys Motors!) was the creator of the original version of the WWII US Army Jeep!
Without looking at Google, I will guess some sort of Aston Martin, because of the wings on the hood. The round shapes look like an Italian design but the right hand drive would likely make it British. Or, did the swedes build right hand drive cars in that era too?

Yes, Swedish cars were right-hand drive in 1955.
I don't recall the exact year when they switched to left-hand drive in Sweden, but I think that it was somewhere around...1963 or so. Please correct me if I am grossly wrong on the year.
All of that being said, it is not of Swedish origin.
It is also not of British origin, so it is not an Aston-Martin, or any other make from The UK.
Nor, is it Italian in origin!
Remember that many European car mfrs did make right-hand drive versions for sale in the UK, Ireland, Sweden, Japan, and Australia. So, virtually any European country of origin is a possibility.
Okay, this one was probably a bit unfair, because it was a very obscure make.
The car in question is a Salmson model 2300.
This French company began by making aircraft engines, and then started building sports cars in 1923. It was bought-out by Renault in 1955, and in that year, the last Salmsons were made.
