One of the best things about the location of this used car lot in trenton, missouri in 1958 was the maid-rite hamburger stand just a block east on 9th. While lingering on this lot talking with my uncle frank, i was often overcome by the greasy good smell of the steamed burgers and headed on down the street. There was a most fantastic pin ball machine inside with lots of bumpers and bouncers with illustrations of buxom blondes smiling and lighting up every time they got bounced by one of the pin balls. There was a lot of laughter, malt mixing machine noises and pin ball noise inside the maid-rite. It was the perfect place for sixteen year olds. There were some cute counry girls who lingered around and enjoyed talking to city boys like me. Yes, i told them all about the latest trends, like the pink and black fashion craze. The nearest drive inn movie was in chillicothe, missouri, out of bounds for all of us. Those were great times in the late 50s.

I usually go for the vintage cars, but this one really caught my eye. It was sitting off by itself in a parking lot, minding its own business. I took about a dozen photos of it. It seems so beautiful to me.
Can someone please tell me the make and model of this car?

Here is a Bentley vintage car. Maybe someone can add more detail, but the photo speaks for itself; it is very beautiful.
It is shot on 35mm film on a Praktica MTL3 SLR.I was using a mini Pentacon 35-70 zoom lens at 35mm and I also chose f3.5 for this, and most of the 'Classics On The Common' series.The photo was taken on 30th July.
