Not one guess? Where are the rockin' rookies we used to know?
Sadly, no guesses from me ... none of them look all that familiar to me, sorry :(.

#6 – Chevrolet Corvette XP-755 Mako Shark 1962
:scratch:
Ehhxekt - a minor typo in your last reply.
All - the general theme of this puzzle should by now be apparent. Further solutions should now be relatively straightforward.
Or not...
Ehhxekt's not guessing. Easy point for a Rookie, Expert or Pro.
#5 – Chevrolet Corvette XP-755 Mako Shark 1961 ?
(but the point should be his!)
Fair enough.
Per General Motors:
QuoteLater known as the 'Mako Shark I,' the Corvette Shark of 1961 was the brainchild of Bill Mitchell. Legend surrounds the origin of the car, including Mitchell's flash of inspiration after catching a shark while deep-sea fishing. The Shark looked like a real shark, with a mouth, gills and a shark-like paint scheme that gradated from blue/gray on the top to silver/white on the bottom (along the rocker panels). Memorable features include a sharp, menacing 'nose' and four-into-two side pipes. The Shark, along with the Stingray Racer, heavily influenced the body design of the second generation of Corvettes.
One IP remains to be ID'd
Is #1 German?
No sir.
With a speedometer in miles, I'd have said there was little chance.
Is #1 American?
It's part American, and part European.
Hhmm, interesting. A Chrysler Dual-Ghia?
Nope

I don't believe 120 km/h is an unusual limit for a classic German speedometer....
next guess: Italo-American?
Yes!
:popcorn:
Yes!
Not a Zeder Storm... :-\
The Italian part was due to a coachbuilder?
No Dual Ghia, but a Chrysler product anyway?
as it has more than 27.000 miles on the clock I presume it's not a concept, but a production car.

No, not really.
so, it is unique?
A Ghia design?
One of the (former known as) big 3?
Pinin Farina?
Not a Lincoln Indianapolis...
(I have a 327 names left....)
Vignale! (?)
Packard Pan American Motto
Cunningham C3 Vignale
Mercer Cobra Boano
Nash Healey Pininfarina
I've left only few cars by Pininfarina (as Allemano guessed) and Vignale...
can't find an interior pic of the PF 200 Cadillac
Nash Rambler Palm Beach PininFarina
Cadillac Brougham Pininfarina
It must be a car built before 1955, right? Post #35 & #37
1952 PF Packard Parisan

Doesn't matter - that's not it.

Yes
Fina-Sport?
No
Since it's not a Cunningham, my last guess will be Frick Sport.
No, not one of those.
Mmmmh...
Vignale body on an American chassis from 1950 till 1955, not a Cunningham, a Fina-Sport or a Frick Special....not a Nardi (it's not American)...there are only 3 cars left, and no-one of them seems to match: a Cadillac Coupe from 1954-55, a Chrysler Imperial from 1955 and a Packard.
Should I look for one of these 3?
There are more than 3 left.
Oh my....now I got it...american chassis, like Ford: 1952 Cisitalia 808 XF Convertibile!
Bingo! ;D
Here's how the points played out.

That's quite a batting average!
I'm his exact opposite! :shiner:
