The Thompson Twins named themselves after, well, the Thompson twins (above, in the panels). True story.

It looks better from the front, assuming I found the right car. I looked it up so I won't spoil the fun for anyone else with what it is.

That's a darn pretty car. Just wonderful. I'd say a 1942, just a guess.

Very similar. That was a coincidence.

It's a great looking car. 1940 Graham Hollywood.
They bought the 810/812 panel dies from the defunct Cord company, and a shaky partnership with Hupmobile produced this car based on that body shell. The front is different, however, and longer. It's a rear wheel drive car instead of the Cord's FWD. It had a straight 6 NA and also a supercharged version.

Only 2500 or so built, WWII intervened.
