Karn, with the new pic naming conventions, the pics must be saved to the threads as attachments.  Otherwise, the pics in the threads will change when the pics are updated.

The pic on the front page is named per the agreed upon convention. The pic here has a unique identifier. So, the front page changes, the puzzle does not. This is the way I used to handle the "pic of the day", when that other site was going to link to us.

Not a BMW, nor BMW-based.

Something says "Aston Martin" to me. 

(But it's probably this month's signature justification)

Thanks for the French clue, I initially thought it was some sort of Frazer-Nash. It appears to be the creation of Maurice Emile Pezous (M.E.P.)  and I have the model listed as the 170SL of 1954. Pezous was a Citroen agent and I believe the vehicle was based on the Citroen Traction Avant.

When in doubt, guess Salmson!
But I think probably not in this case.
