Thank you! I do enjoy some vintage vehicles. But really, my hat (if I could wear one) is off to you! Your vehicular knowledge is nearly encyclopedic, especially since you picked it with such an obscure picture! I planned on at least 2 more rounds of hints and another picture before anyone started honing in on it...
I almost said no to your guess, but the a-pillars (and even the hood bulge) carried through all years of Z cars, so it's not like there were many other distinguishing features, other than maaaaybe the wipers. But so many of these were modified or customized by their original owners, it's very hard to pick out factory vs. dealer installed options.

Anyway, I'll let you know when I'm heading over to Fieldwork and what's the latest on tap! Hopefully there's something you'll like! [emoji16][emoji106]
 
I'll join the arms race, and add this to my offer. I'll update my picture in a little while.

Edit: it will be a Birthday Bomb!

 
Only about 3-6 years! [emoji1]

Silver surrounds on windows/windshields did carry through all Zs.

VERY well played. The only clues I saw in that picture were the silver windshield trim and MAYBE the wiper blades. I actually hoped that the hood profile would come through in the picture a little better, which would've been a dead giveaway.
Anyway, officially, it's a 1972 240Z. I'll try to get a wider perspective tomorrow.

I did NOT think it would go that fast [emoji1]


I love this game. View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1485021900.910027.jpg
 
So I've been staring at this all day... and googling like mad...

I'm thinking it's teens or early 20's.
Closest I could find was a Maxwell 4 cylinder, but not a 6 (unless that's a twin-ignition 3???).

Looks fun, though! Nice upholstery in the background.


Damn! Although off on the car the beer is on, the car in the background is a 1910 model G Maxwell.

Hint: the car with the beer is a 1915 from a company in the same state.
 
Well, I got my choices submitted. VERY tough to choose between them all. I am sure I won't be disappointed. I don't think there are any beers in the other offers that are available to me here. Looking forward to tomorrow's drawing!
 
That's getting to be well outside my range of knowledge, looks cool though.


Just a note, I updated the offer list with updates from Scturo and imasickboy in the last day.

Wow! Uh, yeah! I totally knew it was a Maxwell in the background just from the seat... [emoji1]

Ok, I'm pretty sure it's a Studebaker then! Again, mainly thanks to google-fu. If I'm right (hell, even if I'm wrong!) very cool car! That has to be a blast!
Oh, so what are the little valve looking thingys inline with the spark plugs?

Ok, at the risk of turning this into the "Name That Car By Its Engine" thread:

Get the model and a beer shipment is yours!

Those are the rules of this side game aren't they?
 
The valve looking things.... Some call them compression release, some call them primer cups. Both names are self explanatory.


Ah! That does make sense! Those are what led me to the 'aughts. They don't seem to show up in engine design much after that.
Again, great car!

You guys are in another galaxy than me on cars, but just for kicks I'll guess vintage MG or Bugatti

Excellent guess! It is one of those [emoji6]
Crowler and a glass for you too if you can narrow it down! [emoji16]

I'm surprised I got that close. I don't know engines, but the grill Is what led me to my guesses. If I had to pick, I'd say Bugatti.
 
Today is the day, I have my lucky camel foot in hand. Maybe I will not get the last draw this round.

Even if I did, the offers this round are great.
