Looks like a Kellison GT kit car:

Right ! The link does show that you found it. It's a Kellison GT indeed, or rather , as the ad says "GRAN TOURISIMO". I'm still wondering what language this is supposed to be.

I considered posting this car myself, but decided against it as there are pretty strong clues in previous puzzles that this is a familiar one for several of the regulars here, so I knew it would be solved pretty quickly. If you want to make sure you've got something that hasn't been mentioned somewhere on this forum before, or simply to avoid re-posting, try googling the name of the care on this site, i.e. " kellison site:autopuzzles.com ".

That's just a piece of friendly advice - as I know that I, for one, have much more fun posting a puzzle that will really bake the other guys' noodles. So I assume that other people feel the same way

There's no need to google: just use the search feature of Autopuzzles. I know that.
It's just that I usually do it AFTER I've posted the car. Why? I don't know why. Life can be mysterious sometimes.

It's your time to giggle as I google. Why on earth have I not seen the Search button before?

Sorry for the delay...Gran Tourismo is the mispelled version of the italian Gran Turismo that is what stands behind the letters GT...in italian Gran Turismo usually stands for  a coupe or 2+2 body with high performances, luxury finitures and mechanically refined. This terms was used in the 20's when the technical progress permitted to build powerful and fast cars in series. The term however referred to the car's ability to offer good performances in a discreet comfort. The first car to call itself officially GT was the Alfa Romeo 1750 of 1931 by Touring.
