If it is indeed modeled after a single specific car, then it's definately a 1960 DeSoto
something. The 1960s were the only year with that arrangement of headlights and tail fins.
I'd be hard-pressed decide between the
Fireflite and the
Adventurer (which, honestly, I can't really tell the difference between anyway), but it's been stated
elsewhere that it's an Adventurer, so I see no reason to argue.
The Season 1 car has a few modifications from any standard 1960 DeSoto Fireflite\Adventurer - it's a convertible (or at least it's been
converted, considering we don't know for sure that the top actually does go back up), it's got the hood scoop and the side-pipes, there are covers on the rear wheel-wells, the side mirrors are missing, and the hood ornament and other bits of trim have been replaced with some fancy bits of pinstriping.
