could be a studebaker,the centre of the steering wheel and the chrome inner ring sometimes these copy the emblem on the outside.

It's a '57 Chevy Bel Air
Look at what you can see of the outside of the door - you can see where the two-tone white 'fantail' splits off into the rear fins.
That and the Tri-Chevy crown across the 'vee' on the wheel - Caddys of this era had a more severe 'V' shape, and leather everywhere, rather than bakelite, vinyl and tin.

I thought it was as I'm sure that's a plane tailfin chrome bonnet feature you can see.
But this is the interior of a 57 Bel-Air Chevy, different steering wheel, instruments too.

It's definately a Yank Tank, though I'm not sure which one. I'll do a little research and consult an expert friend of mine and see if I can get you an answer.
I've just about nailed it down as a 1955 Chevy Nomad. Just confirming it for myself, and will post a piccy...
Update:
Yep, it is. Some piccies of one for sale in New Jersey:

And a rear view of another one. It's a station wagon, BTW (think you call them estate cars.)

Your the man Mike, Do you think they did them as a standard car as well? I don't remeber it being an estate?
