Must be American body, the hood badge don't seemed to be centered on the hood, opps! At least with a Jap engine it out to run forever.

Not a clue on the maker. Is it metal or a glass body?

That's a Piontek, right? Car and Driver gave that think a lot of ink in my day.

Pretty damn good performance for the money if I remember it right. Sort of a homegrown Sport Renault...
