Well looking at the relative spacings I dont think this is a particularly large vehicle.

Pondering on the strict definition of car makes me think it may be a wheel short.

So a small 3 wheeled vehicle of sort sort?

I wish we had a "Smacks head" smiley.  I could use one.  Are we talking about a type of truck here?

There are some El Camino bits, but much more special than a re-badge. After all, what now-classic European vehicle would a re-barged El Camino be trying to one up?

The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is the story about how the French derided the Bentleys (27-30) after having their butts handed to them at LeMans by referring to the winning cars as "the fastest lorries in Europe."  Or something like that.  It's been a long time since I heard that and a short night.  Need more caffeine.

Brain lock.  I can't think of any Bentley "inspiration"/tribute cars/trucks at the moment.

Going back toward center.  Is the "now classic" vehicle from the 50s?

A Corvair van doing a "oneupsmanship" thing in a VW Microbus.  

Ohh...I hadn't seen Giles' reply.  I just thought of it as I was trying to nap and recover from yesterday's "exhaustion."  :)

Is the "no" answer to Giles' question in regard to the "now classic" vehicle or the "oneupsmanship" vehicle or both?

Is the "now classic" vehicle the 1954 Mercedes racing transporter?
