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.

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