I'm glad to have made your day. It is a 2013 Viper, but it no longer is a Dodge, perhaps in preparation for FIAT/Chrysler to drop that brand? It is an SRT. Here's the full photo from yesterday afternoon:

Let's try to answer Jeff's puzle.

 

Jeff - BTW: To put a car photo here for people to guess you must be the first to correctly guess the previous photo.

 

To start the guessing - 1930s?

Wilson,

Y'all are good; it is a Cadillac - not for sure as to the date.

I can't see one of these old Fleetwoods, without thinking of a Louisiana funeral.

 

A friend of mine at college in Switzerland in the 1960's, had a slightly later Fleetwood hearse (about 1949). It was in surprising demand as a "passion wagon" and this was before vampires became fashionable. We had taken it up one evening to a party in Caux, where it had run out of fuel. There was no gas station in Caux, so I had the bright idea that as it was downhill all the way to Montreux, if the other guys gave me a push to start, then jumped in, I could freewheel all the way down to the gas station. What I had forgotten was that without the engine running, there was no power steering or servo brakes, for the steep descent with many hairpin bends. An interesting experience!

Wilson -

 

Have you another "puzzle" car for us?

 

Not a mystery car but a mystery. In the photo below, we can see the driver is Graham Hill. I am fairly sure the car is a late BRM P61 or early P261, as it obviously has the late type BRM P56B engine with the reversed cylinder heads, where the exhausts exit into the middle of the V and the inlets lie between the cams (as opposed to our "8 Stack ex-Richie Ginther P57, where the exhausts came down from the outside of the heads and the intake trumpets were in the centre of the V).

 

When was it ever raced in red paint? I suspect that at some point this image may have been photoshopped with a black and white mask applied then the green selectively replaced with red.

 

.......or does someone know differently?

I don't think the car was ever raced in red, and to my knowledge there were no privateer outside of the Owen Racing Organization cars (although BRM sold engines to privateers). My guess is photoshop. Note: the red looks like Scuderia Fillipinetti colors. I checked and saw that the team raced privateers in F1, but they never owned a BRM chassis, and G.H never drove for them.

My only thought was could the BRM have been raced in red during the Tasman series but I think the circuit is Oulton Park, maybe the 1963 Gold Cup, eventually won by Jim Clark in a Lotus 25 (maybe the number 6 car, here in third place).

Birdcage Maserati

 

I did not think that would take very long but that was very quick. Indeed as you say a T61 Birdcage. A delightful car to drive, particularly when it has the 2 litre engine installed. The 3 litre engine, which was in this car at the time of this photograph, is much quicker but very rough and agricultural. These were very successful in period, especially with Stirling Moss driving them and the only other sports racing cars which were as quick, were the Lotus 15 and 19 and Cooper Monaco cars but usually these were even less reliable than the Masers.
