Fiberglass body, low HP six cylinder engine. Very slow. It had doors that slid into the front fenders to open. Not many made.

That's an Arnolt Bristol.

I was privileged to visit the Arnolt Bristol corral in the Road Atlanta infield one day in the early or mid-70's.

It had two cars in it... one red, one blue.
