Come to Think of It, It Does Look Faintly Like the Bell X-1: 1980 Citroen CX 25 Prestige
"THIS CITROEN WAS ONCE OWNED BY CHUCK YEAGER WHO BROKE SOUND BARRIER I DO NOT HAVE PROOF OF THAT UNLESS YOU GO THROUGH THE CALIFORNIA DMV SYSTEM."

Don't know how I missed this....
YES to Citroen, in every form and in all stages of supersonic exploit: YES.
My word verification word is "elyzing," which sounds like a great descriptor for how you'd drive this car ("I saw Peet stopped at the light, elyzing behind the wheel of his fine Citroen...")
My word is now "chingl," which sounds like that little steel clip that falls off your Lancia and prevents it from starting.
...on a Citroen the chingl is known as the la schaul, and doesn't fall off as much as hydraulic build-up blows it off.
"Pierre, elyzing behind the wheel of his fine Citroen, stopped short at the sound of his chingl snapping. "Alors! Ma schaul!" he cried, and was quickly doused in a spray of hydraulic fluid.
(The Japanese call it an "edshi")
