Mercury Cougar. Same as a Mustang under the skin.

Looks like a peat bog fire.

More info, please.

1958-60 Chevrolet Corvette.

Postwar Chrysler, looks like it's been lightly customized.

I suspect Schumacher dressed up like The Stig just for the interview. I highly doubt he's been driving for Top Gear all this time.

Not a car, an early 40's Ford pick-up truck.

That is strange. According to Wikipedia the US has more (6) Drakens than France (0), but here's one nearby: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Saab_J35OE_Draken_%28MAA%29.jpg

It's a map, we can see where it's located. You don't need to tell us.

I vote A-26 due to the square wingtips and the location of the cockpit behind the props.

Hmm, someone forgot the "More Info" link. {;^)

Take a look at the Google map of this area (zoom out a few). It's a shipping channel. The boat weaving the pattern is probably doing depth soundings to see where the channel needs to be dredged.
