By jove I think you are correct - I had always thought the single taillamp model wast the 1928 8-88/8-115 model and the twin tail lamp was the 1929 8-90/8-120 - guess it's just as well I do not judge Concours events ....

Actually I would hardly know one Auburn from another but as you were being pedantic...

Another one from that era:

Shes certainly a Lancia Spider, a search around 1955 might be fruitful....

Ok ill wait a tad longer and put up another angle...if I give you a clue I reckon you will get it in two secs.

One clue might be the colour, IIRC they only came in white except for two during its production.

Here we go - made it that little bit harder now - it's a concept. But do not fear! I'll let you in on a secret - it's from either 2009 or 2010 ;)
