werase gets it......itsa pre-1968 Jag-u-ar XK-E. The headlight covers are significant 'cause starting in 1968, the Feds banned h/l covers with safety mandates and requirements. So, in 1968, all those lovely front ends, with headlights under glass, from mfgs like Ferrari, Jaguar, Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin, etc., went away. Thankfully, years later, auto producers found a way to provide for covered headlights and meet safety and illumination standards and our "enlightened" safety nazis relented.

BTW, those bumperettes and sometimes "grill guards" were added dealer accessories designed to protect that beautiful and vulnerable "nose" on the Jag E-type.
