All the Clenets on that website show the spare tires on the trunklid, behind the car (Continental Spare). Not one of them has their spares on the sides like this car. Also the bar connecting the headlights, in front of the grill does not match any of the Clenets.

Also, the space between the door and the rear wheel is too large. I don't think it's a Zimmer, a Tiffany, or a Phillips either. It might be some sort of Excalibur or maybe a Johnson, but I'm not sure.
