Saw this on a Ford used car lot on my way into town yesterday. Went by it again today and stopped and got some pics.

Okay, it took me and my brother a day to track this one down.  We love British cars, have had a few (MGA, MGB, a couple of Jaguars) and this is actually a 1950s Sunbeam Alpine.  It was designed by Raymond Loewy who did the early 50s Studebakers and has an amazingly heavy resume to wit (from wiki):

He spent most of his professional career in the United States, becoming a naturalized citizen in 1938. Among his designs were the Shell, Exxon, TWA and the former BP logos, the Greyhound Scenicruiser bus interior, Coca-Cola vending machines and bottle redesign,[4] the Lucky Strike package, Coldspot refrigerators, the Studebaker Avanti and Champion, and the Air Force One livery. He was engaged by equipment manufacturer International Harvester[5] to overhaul its entire product line, and his team also assisted competitor Allis-Chalmers.[6] He undertook numerous railroad designs, including the Pennsylvania Railroad GG1, S-1, and T1 locomotives, the color scheme and Eagle motif for the first streamliners of the Missouri Pacific Railroad, and a number of lesser known color scheme and car interior designs for other railroads. His career spanned seven decades.
