That's the one. Mitsuoka Orochi.
Probably the ugliest and underpowered "supercar" ever. It's powered by a 3MZ-FE. That's a Camry V6...

a bit off
Hindustan Ambassador (lateral cousin of the Morris Oxford) has only been in production since 1957.

The Chevrolet Corvette has been produced since 1954

that would be a 4 year difference

and for ****s and giggles, the Volkswagen Beetle has been in production since pre-1945 (1931-1945 were limited production since first they prototyped and then germany was at war.)

Looks like a Cadillac Eldorado from the late 50's early 60's.

Specifically, it is a 1959 Cadillac. The '59 had the most garish and outlandish styling, and was perhaps the most famous of past Cadillacs.
