Correct!
The 2nd pic cames from an old magazine of mine. There was only the name of the car with no reference to the builder, but it's obviously the same car!
Now, for a multi-point answer, what is the name for this car?
(A clue, it's written above the grille)

This car's name is written above the grille.
It's not well readable, but it's possible to understand. This word is Spanish, seems another very known spanish word, but actually is a word that probably refers to a kind of animal, and after all this car is similar to that pet.

Not that... I know is barely readable, but it's written on the car, and it's a pet's name.

as far as I understood, it's not a name referring to the animal (dog) but to his race...it should be the kind of dog. (I'm not sure about that but if you google that you'll find only pics of this kind of dog, and if you look at the car with that pet in mind...well it make sense!)
