Identify this car and when it was built correctly for 1 point:

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

Have fun!

I can see a resemblance (around the rear) but no, that's not it.

I know it would have been a repost but I thought it looked a bit similar - the colour and the state of repair too!

i don't actually know the answer to that question.
All I know is what this car is called, who built it, where and when - not what it's based on!

Finally! It's called "Red Ram". From 1954.

"This is one of four race/street sports cars built locally by Anders Thompson and raced on Seattle-area road-race tracks in the 1950s with Ferraris, Jags, Austin Healys and other famous sports cars.

At last!
Well done, that's also all the information I have and I've never been able to find another picture of it.
So that's 2 points for solving a BH resident!

The full name is Thompson Dodge Red-Ram Special. The Dodge Red Ram engine was similar to DeSoto's Fire Dome hemi engine, but it was of smaller displacement (241 C.I.), and shared no parts with the Fire Dome. In 1953, A Red Ram equipped Dodge Coronet set a number of records at Bonneville

Among other drivers, the Dodge Red Ram-Special was driven by Bill Cantrell, a successful Gold Cup speedboat racing pilot and Indy racer.
