I recently found this picture of Fred L Carlson Pontiac Cadillac of Salt Lake City on line.

Any idea what make the red sports car is? My 1st thought was a Nash Healey, that's not correct.

Allard? Allards were Cadillac powered.

An Allard is not a bad thought, but the closest model I came up with was a K3, and that model does not have the body dip at the doors, and the grill isn't the same (but they seemed to make at least 3 different grill styles? But it could be a one off or a kit car.

Notice the sign above says USED CARS. As a guess I would say the photo was taken in the mid 50s. So the red sports car may not be Cadillac powered.

Then I ran across this Woodhill Wildfire. A kit car built between 1952 to 1958 powered by a Willys four cylinder.
