I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

This is a FWD classic-style sports car built (in the USA I believe) in 1965 with an aluminium body and an OMC Cushman engine and a 3-speed manual transmission.
With a heady 18 bhp it must be really exciting to drive!

Incidentally I only know this because it was scheduled to be one of my puzzles until you posted it!:

I think this might be the first puzzle of mine that you have personally solved. I deliberately selected a rear-three-quarter view of the car to make the puzzle harder.

Well found.
