Did anyone notice how that very picture could almost have been a Bond Mk F?

Well, guess what I just found? Lookey here:



It seems Mr. Puzzell didn't think we'd check for two Peels among his lights. And he was right.

So what I've managed to contribute here is largely two Peels. How strange!

And with picture #16 identified as a Peel Trident I believe this puzzle is solved!

Argh! In putting together one of my puzzles I came across images I had taken OF this car, and knew I had seen #16 but I didn't connect because the car I saw was light blue. D'oh!

1958 Rambler American. Once you eliminate Edwards (whose parking lights didn't fit anyway), there's not much left.
I found the same exact car so I didn't bother checking the connection between the Rambler's six  and some Indy engines.

Thanks for putting me back on my tracks, but the comparison with the Jaguar had led me way off the trail.

Longtime AutoPuzzlers may remember the Rambler / Indy connection from this puzzle, started in January of 2007:
