Another kind of T-roof.

For one point, please respond and identify this car and its builder.

I remember I saw this vehicle in a well known Tv program some times ago; it has been completely restored.  If I remember well, it has been built for a US Exibition in the late '50 or so...but I don't remember anything more.    I'm not sure but I think it hasn't an electric engine.

It was not built by Greyhound, but for them. Locked for you to find the whole name and the manufacturer.

It is the Greyhound Escorter, but it wasn't built by Clark. Still locked.
