Yes thats a Concord, and yes they're out of service. It's a shame though, since I was too young to board those planes when I wanted to but now that I'm at an age where I can, they don't even fly anymore.
Forgive for the derailment, the car looks very nice. I wish they sold the OEM ones tinted in the same fashion. Im my opinion that would look more appealing to me. I got mines tinted themselves here are some pictures:

The Concorde is part of my private collection in the back yard along with my other toys. 
The pics were taken at Aviator's Sports at Floyd Bennet Field in Brooklyn, NY.
I rode the Concorde (though subsonic) at an airshow many years ago. I regret not taking a supersonic transatlantic flight when they announced they were going to end service.
Harry - Your car is so clean!!! I think the S-tails change the look of the car, better than the stock ones IMO.
I didn't see any smoked Led tails, then again hearing people's experience with the led's going out turned my away from them. If anything I'll install LED bulbs to get the effect.

Thx i think my car looks a lot better with the S-tail lights too i really like little black tint to the light too.
and yes u can get LED tail lights that are already smoked black like these ones, but if u look at the led light there is always a bulb missing, and i have herd that the bulbs dont last that long and when the leds start burning out then u need to change the whole light not just one led. so for that reason i did not get the led ones if u really just want the look i would do what cldriver recommended that is get a led bulbs and make it work that way.

Harry for the longest time I've tried to find them. Could you point me in the right direction?

Where? do you have a link?
I've heard all the negative reviews about the LED taillights but just to have the board and housing I can change the cheep LED'S to quality ones, that should make them last longer.

when i get home from work, tonight or tomorrow ii'll find u some pic of led tail lights and can show u what u meen. ya u can put in the better wuality leds but for me that is too much work and not worth the cost. u pay like an extra $150 for the led lights and then u have to go out and buy anothere set of leds and put them in your self. for me that is way too much work and not worh the money but i'll still post u some pic that i have from when i was thining abou the led lights

Not sure if you're asking me since so many other hot cars posted in the thread, but for mine, yest its on stock springs. Because I kept sidewall ratio the same, but increased width on the tires, it fills up the fender nicely. And in the case of the rear, too nicely, I think I hear the tire either rubbing against the lining or possibly the rear fender.
Thks!
