Although this little beauty clearly resembles a 1955-1957 Ford Thunderbird, this my friends is an Audi produced by the German manufacturer from 1958 to 1965.

β€’ Auto Union 1000 SP β€’
Power was provided by a two-stroke 3-cylinder engine with about 10% of the total output of 6640 vehicles having "twin-threes" (V-6's).

Below is the front of a '55-'56 Thunderbird for camparison for the front.

Below is the rear of a '57 Thunderbird which more closely resembles the 1000 SP tail than do the more tame fins of the earlier '55-'56 T-Bird.
