What 50s car is this?

Any ideas?

I'll start the bidding with a '55/56 Meteor Niagra Station Wagon

I’d go along with that.

Bonus point for the Motor Show location and year. BMC and Lancia stands in the background and what is the big illuminated sign ? ? Promola .

Thanks guys, its Turin and I'm trying to establish the year.
I had seen the Niagara online initially, and thought this was it but the shape of the chrome trim is different.

Similar to a chevy nomad in looks?

Meteor Rideau Country Sedan apparently. One for the "cars you've never heard of" thread, the answer came via google image search as this era of Detroit is baffling to me.

Fantastic, thanks for that.
That's a great page, as you say, mind boggling combination of different model variations in those days.
