Default Anybody knows this car?

Ok, I completely sound like a noob in this post. lol

I saw this car today, loved it, but don't know the model and make.

It's obviously American. 50's probably. It had a "Meteor" badge on trunk.

Good question.

I didn't bother since he was not happy about car being dead and towing it.

Ah, thanks man. So it's a Ford.

I guess they got the idea of this "Ford 49 Concept" from that blue car.

Definitely inspired by the original - don't say that very often about American concept cars but I really like the Ford 49 - which is weird because looking at the original I'm not very impressed by it.

Look at how long the rear end is, the way the passenger area seems slanted forward, and the style of the front grille; thats always a giveaway on Ford coupes from the 1950's.

Either that or a very similar looking car

True - but we're talking about a different car, not the main starring car.
