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.

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

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...

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.

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...

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 )

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