Almost looks like the Lotus Elite Fastback as seen below, but the rear is totally off.

Nope!!!
Look here: http://www.finecars.cc/en/detail/car/32658...html?no_cache=1 It's an Apal, which is a coupe bodied kit from a French maker, but it used 356 gear. Pretty cool huh? |

I'd think that given its ungainly proportions, the cowl-to-windshield transition (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon8.gif), and that the attached pics show a stronger DNA heritage than anything posted so far, my vote is that red car is a Panhard DB (Deutsch-Bonnet).

The Kapt'ns stumped us all on that one! I still think it's ugly and that the body is an amorphous blob. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif)
