Yes indeed.
Apparently it was the Laika Double Sedan, with a lifting top which could be removed completely to make a convertible.
I'm not fully sure why it was called the Double Sedan, but I understand it had 2 boots (trunks), one in the front and one at the rear; the engine seems to have been in the passenger compartment! I don't know if the car was ever actually built though..

Well done but I'm afraid that's the last Rookie puzzle you'll be able to solve!
From now on you're an Expert so you'll have to wait for the puzzles to reach the Expert board before you can have a go at them.
Congratulations.
