That is a face only a mother can love. I don't know why but it looks like lioness face to me.  It also has lines of a car I'm familiar with, but it sure is an oddity. Very interesting.

[Pete J.]

I know what it looks similar to, but as far as I can tell, that is a red herring(figure of speech, not a red car manufactured by herring) 

[matthijsgrit]

Haha!! This think got me thinking about fish too!

[DonW]

That's an insult to us fish!

[Ace-Garageguy]

No fair. How are we supposed to know cars from other planets?

[Bucky]

Maybe from Planet 51?

[matthijsgrit]

Well, I know by facts it is a car from planet Earth, however strange that may sound.  Then again, so is this: 

[DonW]

Perhaps I'm from another planet too, this one took me about a minute to check the dates of manufacture as I knew it straight away...?

[warra48]

It's an ugly beast, but I think I know what it is.

This car with a face that only a mother could love is a 1963 - 1965 Panhard CD. This car was extremely arodynamic for a car from the early 60's. The CD was designed by Charles Deutsch and was the production version of the Panhard CD Dyna that was  driven at the 24h LeMans in June 1962.

Congratulation

[Pete J.]

Ok, I was way off.  I think is definitely has the looks of the Alfa double bubble.  I spent all my time rutting through Italian cars.  Should have know it is French. It kind of has the lines of a  Citroën DS  if you squint just right and have a few glasses of burgundy under your belt. ?

[peteski]

Many of its body lines look very "Jaguaresque".

[Earl Marischal]

The way the bonnet sat gave me a lead to Panhard as it reminded me of their PL-17.
