This puzzle starts in the Pro section with a very zoomed-in look at a puzzle vehicle.  If, in a week, no one identifies it, I will zoom out with a new photo and move the thread to the Expert section.  If, after another week-or-so, no one gets it right, I will post another photo, further "Zoomed Out" and I will move it to the Rookie section.

Name it!

Is that dark tadpole on the hood of any importance concerning the identity of the puzzle car?

HAHAHA that reminded me of the old (1971) "Godzilla VS Hedorah" movie...

You'll know if you saw the movie!

Merely a flaw on the original photo.

I'm not sure about tadpoles, but I'm assuming (with all the inherent dangers) that the "thing" in the red circle (for all intents and purposes, let us assume that the shape is geometrically perfect) is the flaw in the ointment....uhh...photo.

Based on that, is the car a US GM product?

I thought it could be just one or the other.

Well then: Is it a plain series production car?
