It is an Arnolt MG, based on TD mechanicals, with the 4 cylinder TD
engine..around 53 or so. Body by Bertone of Italy. Assembled in Chicago
under the Arnolt Company Name. Arnolt did other special bodied cars using
powertrains from Bristol, Jaguar, and Aston Martin and Bertone as the Body
Manufacturer. I believe that Arnolt was partially responsible for keeping
Bertone afloat during some bad financial times. Very unusual cars. Also
their is a ONE OFF Arnolt Bentley in existance too with a Bertone Body and
Bentley Chassis/Drivetrain that was shown in the Paris Motor Show in...1953
I think.

I believe that is an Arnolt MG, 1955-60. I presume it was based on the A
mechanicals (based on the dates). Arnolt (an American importer and
small-scale manufacturer) is perhaps better known for the Arnolt-Bristol
sports car.
