Wonderful rendering, fun to guess how the tools and benches are being used.

I built a boat years ago. I didn't know much about boat building so I bought a book by Howard Schapell. He said right from the start that every shop should have a "moaning chair". I don't see one in this rendering and I don't have one in my auto shop but if I did it would be worn out by now! My neighbor says it's not therapy, it's a sickness and there is medication for it. He's probably right but for now my recliner and this website works!
Now back to the shop.

My guess is that it is an combination of many cars in the artist's mind---and not one specific car. It is meant to be all old cars.
It might be fun to point out the details you can identify.

Keeping these old cars running is what keeps us old folks going.

This is what is behind the 'No I don't want to sell it'. Sometimes you do sell and know it's right but it's the dreams that go with it that hurt the worst.
