Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please identify this car, the year and what was its claim to fame.

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids.

1969 Ponthieu by Jean-Pierre Ponthieu. Tallest car in the world (2,40 m).

That's right! Guinness awarded this car at the time the Record of being the tallest in the world, though I think it is debatable it can be called a proper "car" since it was based on a Renault Gallion truck. Three units were made.
