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.

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.
