Curses! was it that easy?

You are right. Here is more info:

Crafted by the California-based custom auto manufacturers N2A, which translates to "no two alike", the car is an amalgamation of 1957, 1958 and 1959 Chevrolet models, the two-door convertible - which is aptly named 789 - features the "hooded eyes" and chrome grille of a '57 Bel Air, a mid-section that's reminiscent of a '58 Impala, and the "bird in flight" rear tail fins of a '59.

The 789, which has a six-speed manual transmission, has limited modifications and sports a high performance 6.2-litre LS3 V8 engine.

more info and a series of photos here

Yup, spot on RD. Well done.

the godfather, do i get a point for the film,

fiat?

R1 you are a good poster and I love you but don't ever call an Alfa a Fiat outside the family again or you will disappoint me.

Just finished watching 1 lastnight.

Gonna watch 2 tonight.

I thought the design signature of the grille was very distinctive and I immediately knew it was an Alfa without googling it which is why I thought it would be a good car for the thread.

A real shame it got blown up.

Shame about Appolonia too. She has nipples like an alien.

Alfa Romeo 6c

Silly little ice cream sort of car. It's a wonder the Americans bought any...

I actually forgot where I took the pic, and had to google Nash, I knew it was a Nash but forgot the model

Great hood ornament though hey! I want one on my old Land Rover.

I thought this was what any self-respecting old Land Rover's hood ornament should look like Earl?

But I got me spare on the rear.
