Calling all history buffs! Identifying this car shouldn’t be all that hard. But there’s something unusual and extremely rare about this particular variant. An oddity of history, if you please. To win, you need to explain.

I think it's more likely a '49 than a '50
What's up with the steering wheel. It looks like a piece of ivory.
I'll call it a 1950 Series 61, perhaps a coupe, with a manual transmission. Rare, but the option of a manual was not discontinued until 1953 and the last year of the 61 was 1951. Possible historical significance: like the Cunningham LeMans car.
