The fully-carpeted trunk - in red Wilton wool - adds a curious touch.

But you don't feel the arm rest is a bit out of place? ;)

as does the rather well padded arm rest. Neat car!

Thought this looked like the Honey West Cobra and was apparently exhibited in a museum as such. Honey West car was CSX2540, though: The Anne Francis "Honey West"cobra

Was that Delco expansion tank standard on the later cars, or was that added afterward?

I think that's a Harrison tank which like the early radiators was a GM (Corvette) repurposed part.
I also think it was considered a race style addition or upgrade to the Falcon/Mercury tanks.

It looks like one of those cute little English cars.

Well, no. Where else would you put it? :D

And that's an early expansion tank, not typical for this late a car.
