Experts?

Surely that's just a Jaguar XK120 Roadster

Or is it a replica that has had the picture faked to look old?

It's an American car, methinks - not a Jaguar...

That is an old picture, not a picture faked to look old. It does indeed resemble a Jaguar, but is not.

Please re-read the puzzle.

Maybe 1953 Navajo Roadster with a Mercury V8 engine?

[Otto Puzzell]

It was sold as the Navajo Mercury.

[Otto Puzzell]

Upon further review, maybe Navajo by itself is correct. A point for each.

Here's an ad from the manufacturer, when the cars were for sale new. Dropping "Mercury" from the puzzle title. Point awarded in arrears to jotage21.
