Once

Detail of the headlamp assembly of the BMW.

Luck

As luck would have it, on the same farm as the tractor, was an abandoned BMW. I'm not a fan of BMWs (with very rare exceptions) but this one just seemed to belong where I'd found it. Some surface rust but it looked ready to tackle the open road once again, if only someone would.

Replica

This is a portion of a Beck Spyder. The modern reimaging of the infamous Porsche 550 Spyder, the one that killed James Dean. The nickname of the 550 is unprintable in a family friendly journal, but suffice to say the handling of the original gave it the well deserved nickname. The modern one apparently (or at least hopefully, I've never driven one) fixed that.
