Its a 1967 Cougar.
The '68 was the 1st year with side marker lights.
I had '67 XR7 in high school.

This is a one-off 1951 Studebaker Manta Ray concept car designed by Glenn Hire and Vernon Antoine.Design Inspiration: The car was created by two aviation professionals and features styling heavily influenced by jet aircraft.Body Construction: Its distinctive body was handcrafted using 14 sections of fiberglass molds, rather than traditional metal.Tail Lights: The unique triple tail lights on the rear were sourced from a 1952 Lincoln.Unique Features: The vehicle is exceptionally low, measuring just 40 inches in height, and was built upon a shortened 1951 Studebaker Commander chassis.
This was at our local European car and coffee.....Never knew they existed until 7 years ago. !st one I have ever seen.

I thought the tail lights were old Lincoln but whats up with the rear bumper? Right side is way different than the left!

Correct. Z1
Certainly different. My guess is it a styling thing. Appears to be slots cut into the bumper which obviously would weaken it . Odd .
Yup,, BMW Z 1, 8000 built from 1989--1991. The doors drop down into the sills. Has a composite body just like us and officially not available in North America.

OK , I'll split the prize with ya.
Went to a
museum in Saskatoon. They had lots of neat cars from the area, but this really stood out.
Thanks. Very cool .

Studebaker Avanti. My neighbour next door had one when I was a kid.
A guy in town here had a few of them over the years. A real fan , did restorations on them as he came across parts which apparently was a problem. Pretty cool cars actually.
Some interesting facts on the Avanti can be found ....................... disc brakes, supercharged engines, fiberglass body, integral roll bar, 170 mph speed record at Bonneville
My guess is a 1958 Buick Special! Classic cars like this have a charm of their own. There’s something special about the timeless styling, unique design details, and the history behind these vintage automobiles. They really do stand out from modern cars.
