The wagon is the Corvette Nomad concept vehicle, unveiled at the GM Motorama 1954 ... back in the heyday of Harley Earl.

The reason any concept cars have survived is usually because a GM employee disobeyed/disregarded a destroy order and hid the car somewhere in GM's vast storehouses for years, if not decades.
