[Tigers] thunderbird not sunbeam?

On the other hand,

Mayf had some interesting observations, so I pulled up this familiar pic 
to compare to Michael's posting:

It is pretty familiar to us, and at about the same angle, Old 74 Alpine championed by Don Sessler:

and:

It is fairly clear that the car is a homage to Don's racing Alpine.  It 
is a very handsome "replicar", but T-Bird based, with some custom glass 
work.
