When I was young, a long time ago, early 70's there were Valiant (maybe Dodge) sedans similar to that, around Box Hill in Melbourne, not new so probably late 50's / early 60's with the spare wheel in a cover on the boot lid.
Thought they were brilliant then as a maybe 10 year old, would love to see one now.

From what I remember, the rear wings were more pronounced, and the spare fully above the boot lid.
But the intervening 45 odd years may have dulled things

Just done some searching / reading, and the car I remember never existed.
And the spare wheel moulding was a dummy, with the spare under the boot
