Guess this was harder than I thought or everyone's dropping out? Not a lot of guesses. Ok! Hint time. If you haven't guessed it's an American classic with a great story behind it and there were actually 51 of them made.

I've been 'out of the game' for a couple of weeks (end of Financial year stuff is taking up most of my time)
I have found out what the car posted is (I think) but I'll leave it for someone else.

With your hint, some-one should find it - especially the Americans using this blog

Hopefully next week I'll mave more time to 'play'

That because it wasn't a major manufacturer (if its the one I think it is)

They are fairly rare - one sold at auction for over 1,000,000 USD in 2008

You are looking in the right era though

Well here's another hint or two that should definitely give it away. There were only 51 made but 47 are still running today and it was referred to as the 48.

The 1948 Tucker Sedan or Tucker '48 Sedan (also nicknamed the Tucker Torpedo) was an advanced automobile conceived by Preston Tucker and briefly produced in Chicago in 1948. Only 51 cars were made before the company folded on March 3, 1949, due to negative publicity initiated by the Big Three.

eh??? and then....??

i give up regardless folks... my eyes are bit stingy....hehe.

Adamadam28! The waiting is over! The "Tucker 48 (torpedo)" is correct sir! You got it and I have to say the enthusiasm was unquestionally unparalled! Next hint was gonna be it had three front headlights. Designed by a man named Preston Tucker, the amazing story behind it and the inspiration for the Francis Ford Coppola film "TUCKER: The Man and His Dream." If you haven't seen the movie I heartily recommend it and here's a good site about the Tucker history: www.tuckerclub.org/ Wikipedia has a lot on the man and the car also.

Originally the company was to be called "R. E. Olds Motor Car Company," but the owner of Olds' previous company, then called Olds Motor Works, objected and threatened legal action on the grounds of likely confusion of names by consumers.[1] Olds then changed the name to his initials. Ironically, Olds Motor Works soon adopted the popular name of its vehicles, Oldsmobile. Then instead of two "Olds" companies there were none.

OMG. i seriously tht i might get a DAY out of that one....

well done, ALL YOURS squire.... **sulks**
