What car is this, easy, but you also have to say who it belonged to and why is he famous?
It was used by the owner to get to a certain place where he did something of World historical significance.

This car, usually identified as a 1930 Studebaker Model 56 6-cylinder convertible sedan (although I think it's actually a 1933 model) was reportedly used by Nathuram Godse prior to the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948. Godse is believed to have used this car to reach Birla House, after which he shot Mahatma Gandhi.

Thanks, Bill.  I doubt that the second 100 will be as easy (not that all of the first 100 were), but the search is the best part part of the fun.

It won't necessarily be any harder; it's the 3rd hundred that's nearly impossible!
