My first thought was a Facel?

Mine was Russian, Zil maybe?

However I would expect the girl to be wearing a long wollen coat, scarf and holding a turnip.

Termi - well I'm impressed,

it is a Facel Vega Excellence. They only made them for 4 years (58-62) and not sure how many they made but was not big, about 156.

Note - no "B post" how many other cars were made with out a B post ? (and I do not know the answer)

Was told by a owner once, if you jacked up the car or parked the car on a kerb, the car would twist so much that you could not close the door easily, if not at all.

Have to try and find a hard one next time.
