I had to google around but it's apparently an Austin Westminster.

Digging still, but came across the full photo from 63 in Saigon

I googled "what car rage against machine album" and several variations and drew a total blank. Everyone cares about the burning monk, nobody cares about the blistering paint.

For anyone who doesn't know, the photo is by Malcolm Browne in Saigon in 1963 (it won the World Press Photo award that year). The car still exists, preserved at the monastery where the monk lived.

It's listed in the monk's Wikipedia page, or maybe the page about the incident.
