ETA: make that 250 LM
 
That's correct, Stephen. It's impossible to tell by looking if it's a 250 or 275 LM in fact most 275LMs started out as 250LMs but recieved the slightly larger 3.3 liter engine to make them into a 275LM and are sometimes referenced as 250/275LMs.
 
LM stands for LeMans and it was a 250/275LM driven by Masten Gregory and Jochen Rindt that gave Ferrari it's last victory in the 24 hour race in 1965.
 
A few LMs were modified for street use but they were built as pure sports racing cars.

1949 Kaiser-Jeep Utility Wagon? Or a '59 - these guys didn't change much did they? '47 was the first with 4x4. The hood latches may be the tell tale.

In that color, I can't help but think of Terry-Thomas and his cacti in "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."

Close Steve, it's not a Kaiser Jeep but rather a 1950 Willys-Jeep Wagon.
 
There's not much difference from one year to another but the five horizontal bars were
only seen from '49-'53.

I always guess '49 because I think that's the one I have hanging over my garage.

Looks like a 1964 Pontiac -- Bonneville? Looks too gutsy for a Parisienne....
