What car is this?

My dad was in Dayton Ohio a couple of weeks ago and saw this car.  He asked if I knew what it was but I don’t.   It looks British to me for some reason but I don’t have a clue. 

Jensen?

I'm going to guess it's a Bristol, maybe a special-bodied one.  It looks like an English- Italian hybrid.  

Peerless GT?

I second the peerless GT guess. The trunk gives it away.

Googles agrees, Peerless GT

Well done.

Yup - Peerless prior to the slight body changes with the Warwick trnsition.

The fiberglass is seriosuly heavy - at least as heavy as my Jensen CV8.

Contained a ton of TR-3 parts!

Yep, Peerless GT.  One of 375.  Made in the late 50s.

beautiful!!!

I recognize those bonnet hinges as being off a Berkeley. 

Aston like roof line, spridget like front end. It's a mix of a lot of cars really 

There's a Ferrari that shares a similar profile.

I knew you guys could do it, thanks.
