That's hard for me, I'm not really much into cars. Someone else can post one.

You gave this one away when you said Mercedes design connection. That made me think of Auto Union in the 1930's- I looked up the companies that had formed Auto Union, Horch seemed most likely. Found a pic of a different Horch, but the grille similarities made me think I was on the right track, so just kept digging till I found the 853's, then the 853a. It didn't take long after that to find the Spezial Roadster. Apparently only 5 were made, each different.

Hmmm... not knowing much about old cars, I did the good ol' Google search for "three headlights" (triple headlight got me all kinds of repsonses for Speed Triple headlights, which wasn't helping...)

Here is the first entry in Google:

Tatra (company) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uniquely, the Tatra T603 featured three headlights, and the first prototypes had a central rear stabilising fin, though this was lost for production. ...

I have no idea if this is correct!!!!

Andrea :D

Woohoo! :clapping:

Okay, so here's one that my first room mate had - he was a huge car buff and did up old cars with his neighbour:

This pic is not of his... his was all black and super gorgeous! ;) Too bad he got in an accident with it and bent up the rear fender... Ooops... :blushing:

That's a 69 Dodge Cornet of one flavor or another. (Super Bee, 440, etc) I can't tell because the trim is off the car.

I think this would be it, a 1940ish Crosley.
