Name That Car

RAY: You're driving in your automobile on a fine spring afternoon in our fair city, and you see in front of you another car with an interesting license plate. And the license plate has 6 characters. They are T-A-N 2-7-0. The question is: What make of car is the license plate attached to? That's it, elegant in its simplicity.

TOM: Aren't you going to give them a hint?

RAY: Do you think it's necessary? I was hoping to save that for weeks two and three. Okay, okay. The hint is high school.

Think you know? Drop Ray a note!
