After a little research, I believe this car is a 55 Chevy Bel Air hardtop. One of the most iconic cars of the 50s, the 55 Chevy was apparently the first Chevy to feature a V-8 engine.

To me it always looked like something a spy (like James Bond) might shoot off the front of his car to attack the driver in front. Of course, it also make you think this car can fly. |
