I can't think of any British marque which looks like this. I can't add any more information.

Piper Buick (Buick 215 V8 bored to 4500cc by Traco) driven by Jerry Titus at Riverside in 1967. The special feature is clearly visible in some of the photos below. ;)

I can find references to this car on the internet, but no real background. It's not mentioned on their Wikipedia page (but neither is their F3 car) and not in any of my reference books. I assume that it was a one-off commission, but it seems an odd way to go about entry into CanAm racing.

(Whisper it quietly - is it that same Piper company ?)
