Far too easy I know.
But that's not quite the full answer.
I'll lock it for you to dig into.

Almquist Sabre II by Almquist Engineering
...the first kit body, the "Sabre", was a very compact sports car with an ultra-short wheelbase, deep side coves, and a bobbed nose. The front fenders raked in behind the front wheels as a styling element and to provide hot air to escape from the brakes. The back was as bobbed as the front, and the car sported grille or fender mounted headlights and no bumpers. The Sabre II was a styling update from the first body, but offered in a slightly longer wheelbase...

That's it, yes.
The main difference between the Sabre I (which has been puzzled before) and the Sabre II seems to me to be that the headlights were moved to the top of the wings.
1 more point to you.
