Not a Cunningham or a Cisitalia.
They made many more roadsters of this then they did hard tops. Only 3 hardtops I think.
It was made in America.

Did you cheat?
It's a Kurtis 500. Made by the same folks who produced the very successful Kurtis Indy cars in years gone by.

At first I was thinking Cunningham, but you said no, so I was thinking about other 50s American sports cars, and did a Kurtis image search. Bingo.
The former Kurtis shop is a few miles from where I live, BTW...
