I agree. Chrysler corp's inline engines were flatheads until 1960.

Re:Not A Dodge
If this is indeed a concept car, I'd guess it was a GM, possibly a Buick. Looks more like a homebrew vehicle to me.

Dodge FlatHeads
Later than that Bill ~
I used to work on a 1967 Military Surplus Power Wagon with a flat 6 and in high school my buddy's father had a 1962 D100 with flathead , the only one I can recall ever seeing with a flattie .
Back to this cool concept car , the grille looks to me like Buick but I was referring to the OHV engine and the construction details , clearly it wasn't built in the 1940's ~ Russ can prolly explain this part better than I .
I dig it and will cheerfully run the wheels off it , given the chance .

The sharp eye tells me you guys are right !
After some further investigation i have discovered that it infact is a 1948 Buick base but restaured to what it once whas a concept car that never whas sold to anyone. This is some of the text that mentions the car;
This classic Buick Streamliner is in pristine condition, restored by Dave Crouse for the 2010 Concours d’Elegance.* Its original construction took over two years, built with an aluminum body around a steel chassis.* Not only is it unlikely you’ll ever see this beauty on the road, it’s likely that you’ll never see it on the auction block.* A car like this is far too rare, too beautiful that any owner could ever want to pass it up– no matter the price.
