Oldsmobile?

Yeah, I was thinking that - could be a Cutlass 4 door, or a Delta 88.

Cutlass

Delta 88. I think it's the Delta, but with single headlamps, perhaps a local requirement in Japan?

I think its a Peerless GT  looking at the lower rear window shape, but will stand corrected if wrong!

As above, it’s not a Peerless GT as that didn’t have sliding windows on the front doors.  They used a very high geared winder as used in the back of Rolls Royces where 1/4 of a turn lowered the window all the way

With that particular side-trim it is probably a 1958 model.

These were part import CKD and some Australian content - particularly most of the body and some engine parts.

I think the CKD components came from Ford Canada to minimise import tariffs.
