Dodge Convertible from about 1952. Is that Dean Martin?
Setting looks European, maybe Austria or Italy.

I am a bit late to this exchange but can add a bit of detail. This was the last Aston Martin DB4 chassis which was sent to Bertone, where Giugaro fashioned this one off "Jet" body. Whilst DB4s were aluminium bodied, this one was in steel.
I rather like the contrast of the swoopy Aston flanks with an Italian glasshouse above.
There is a lengthy article on Bertone in the latest Car (probably a couple of months delayed here).

A few days late. Is it an Allard?

Allard are one of those wrong turns in car design. There was a microcar, the unlovely beast above and a very sweet looking J2.
Sank in the mid 1960s

BTW nor would I characterize the Palm Beach as "unlovely", IMO the Palm Beach was pretty attractive.
Not that Allard didn't make some fairly unlovely cars>
It may lack the aggressive minimalism of the J2 but it's certainly prettier.
2001 BMW 330ci/E46, 2008 BMW 335i conv/E93
Probably the least expensive Allard you can buy, in the $40,000 range for a nice one?? Parts would be virtually impossible to find.
A nice J2 would cost you a cool 1/4 mil.
If you say so, but to my eyes it's the J2 that looks like a kit-car.
BTW didn't I read that somebody is making J2 replicas (also for six figures).

On the right - 54 Cadillac "62"- 55 Chevy - 48 Plymouth.
Is that a Buick or Chev?

Actually, it doesn't look bad on the paint chart, but in that photo it looks pretty unappetizing.

Shifty I'd be interested in you opinion of this as I'm sure there are those who'd consider this an overpriced desecration of the glorious Letter Cars but I'm not so sure. The '56s are my favorite 300s (I love the styling) and a fair amount of money must've gone into the conversion (check out the top!) and it's the only one. If I had the dough I'd be on the plane to Oakland.

It's tough pricing these...ahem...we call them "tribute" cars now, not clones, copies, fakes or desecrations. :P
So I'd peg a show quality '56 Windsor convertible at about $60,000, and naturally this fa....er.....TRIBUTE car would be worth less.
Problem with buying a car like this is, you can only do one thing with it--drive it and enjoy it. You'll be anathema at any Mopar meet, but most likely folks at the local show and shine won't know.
Certainly a bad investment at any rate.
if I were appraising it for insurance/loss, I'd peg it against something like a '56 Windsor hardtop, and treat it as a "chop" even though it isn't---the point being it is a stigmatized car. Or price it has a "resto-mod", meaning add up the receipts and divide by 2.
So maybe $35,000 is about right for a reasonable replica of a 50s convertible. Let's face it, you can't buy a mid 50s open car for much less than that.
The thing that is NOT a 67 Impala
Well I hope the car stopped after it hit him....

There was a Lamborghini show car like this shown at Paris some years ago. Cannot recall details but I think the holes in rear are air vents over engine bay.

I am really dredging the memory but think there was Lots of carbon fibre.
Cheers

It is a Lamborghini Sesto Elemento, the name derives from the fact that carbon is #6 on the periodic table of elements.

Personally I think it looks cool in a Stealth Fighter kind of way.
