Anyone care to guess the manufacturer of this car....it was a standard production model
I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

Like you, I'm hooked on the cars of the 50s and 60s. That was the time when every year brought a new look to the cars. As kids, we couldn't wait to spot the new years offerings. It was a much more simple time. I miss it.

It's great to hear from you. I might have known that it would be you who could identify the " mystery " car. You may be right, also, that it's a custom job. I've been searching for the placard picture that went with this car. It generally says if the car was custom or not. I thought it was a production model, but even their production cars were really custom in nature.
I know the folks who put this show on and I'm going to get with them and find out what I can. I'l let you know. Thanks again for your knowledgeable input.

You may have noticed that, with the exception of the " mystery " car, these cars were all Fords. When I was a car crazy kid ( still am, just 67 years old ) I was a dyed-in-the-wool Chevy guy. But each of these Fords shown were milestone cars for the times and I well remember and liked them all.
I would probably pick the white GT 350 to take home. It came along in the mid 60s when cars started to get into real performance. I was right in the middle of those wild times. I had a '64 Pontiac GTO with Tri-Power and a '67 big-block Corvette. Looking back, I'm lucky to have survived those times.
