Now, if that ain't eternal beauty!

For one point, please respond and identify this vehicle.

Homemade ?

I'm not sure, but the nameplates originally at the front make me think that it might have been a regular production vehicle. I was unable to find pictures of another one though.

Selgran ?

No

BTW, I understood American as being in the same category as European or Australian.

That's a moot point.
In English the question "Australian?" can only mean one thing: "From Australia?".
Similarly "American?" can only mean "From America?" i.e. the USA.
"Euroopean?" on the other hand doesn't ask about a country but about a continent; using the same context the question would need to ask "South American?"or "North American?". They, like Europe, are continents, which America is not. Only Australia is both a continent and a country.

That understanding depends on where you live. In Germany, America is considered as one continent, as in the five Olympic rings.

You mean North and South America together are considered one continent?
I think of the 5 rings as being Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Africa, although there is a school of thought that thinks of Oceania as a continent too, which it clearly isn't...

Why don't you want to have the Australians at Olympic Games?

Oops...

I thought I'd better look on the Internet to see what else I'd forgotten.

This is from one website:

QUOTE
Today, we have seven continents on planet Earth surrounded by 5 oceans. Each of the seven continental land masses is diverse and distinctly unique with their own plants, animals, deserts, mountains, rivers, lakes, cultures, and weather. A continent is larger than an island and is usually made up of multiple countries and span millions of square miles. The 7 continents of the world are North America, South America, Antarctica, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Some consider the North and South American continent to be just one landmass referred to as the “American Continent.” Europe and Asia continent are also combined at times and referred to as “Eurasia.”

It seems there is no assent on this subject!

Ah so it could be South American then. I took being American to mean it was from the USA. As all English would understand as meaning American.
That would explain why it looks so homemade for something made in the USA.

Wendax · « **Reply #22 on:** March 22, 2016, 06:10:58 PM »

It is South American.
