I see what he means... Some Abarths had Kamm tails like that... But
personally, I think that thing is too ugly to have been made in Italy.

The guess that it is a Devin is probably closer, though I don't know of any
coupes. But something like that -- a low-production or home-made sports
racer -- seems more likely.
