Romeo Void rocked a blend of new wave and proto-alternative with “Never Say Never,” a song best remembered for the eminently quotable line, “I might like you better if we slept together.” Sure, the sax work sounds like the immoral love child of Huey Lewis and the News and the late, great Clarence Clemons. And the lead singer, the fabulous Debora Iyall, has the strange appeal of Rosanne’s Barr’s slightly deranged doppelgänger. Don’t worry, though: Your confusion as to what this has to with cars, like a girl in trouble, is a temporary thing.

By 1985 Romeo Void was no more, and in their wake was left a mystery that has, as of late, been bugging me. Watch this video…

… and tell me what is the convertible in the background during the warehouse footage. I can’t figure it out.

Some aspects remind me of an AC Cobra, or at least a replica. But the door handles are wrong, if only by virtue of the fact it has them. The proportions also remind me of a first-generation Pontiac Firebird or Chevy Camaro, but the car seems too small for that. It’s not a Corvair. I think. Maybe? I keep coming back to a General Motors product, but I can’t tell you why. It’s certainly not German or Japanese.

So help a brother out. Drop some comments with your opinions and why you think you know. You’ll be contributing to the greater automotive good.

Follow-up:

The vehicle in question appears to be a Tipo 750/101 Series (1955-1965) Alfa Romeo Giulietta Spider. The giveaways are the external trunk hinges and the kick-up on the rear quarter aft of the door. Further, and not seen in the image above, is the trailing edge of the rear quarter panel where the taillight should go. Based on the strong vertical drop of the taillight mounting facet, I think this is an earlier 1955-1958 Tipo 750.
