Some hints:

A transatlantic creation.
Designer's eponymously named company is still in business, and its web site displays this very car as an example of its design prowess.
At least two were built, at least one survives today.

Woohoo
 

I got one! Yes...

Your car Ed is a 56 Cadillac die Valkyrie. I knew the caps and v8 emblem screamed caddy, but had to pinpoint the details.

Ja!

Design: Brooks Stevens
Execution: Spohn of Ravensburg

didn't Brooks Stevens design the Excalibur too?

Sweet, I have one I have been waiting for! I will post it in a few minutes.

New car
 

OK, here we go. I used to think the 1957 Testarossa was the absolute sexiest car ever, until I saw one of these a few years ago. Stunning car! And interesting history as well...

Bizzarini.


There was a silver one on my neighborhood when i was a kid that I used to lust after....

Crap. You got it Tim. I saw a red 5300 at a car show when I was a kid. Man, that was an awesome car.

Good job anyway! Your turn.

american V-8 if I remember.

A new one...

Tim

Looks like it could be an early Mazda by the taillights?

Alfa based B.A.T. ? (Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica)

Perhaps the Fiat Osca 1500 prototype (also a BAT derivative)?

It looks very Japanese, except for the left-hand drive. Hmmm. It is parked next to a very rare right-hand drive Buick Riviera, though...

He is trying to trick us I think! I could have sworn that it was flipped when he first posted...

Well, this is a tough crowd...:cool:

Definitely not Japanese.




Tim

Could be (BTW we must send the secret police to see if Tim is a person or a supercomputer loaded with all cars out there :D )

I think BAT due to the rear treatment (perhaps that's what Tim was counting on). So I guess I'm wrong then?

Correct. Like I expected anything else from you, Tim.

And one for this evening...
