The car is actually the Phantom Corsair, but they only built the prototype. I believe that is a painting for most of those. Got to see it a show once. To say it would have stood out in the '30's is an understatement. I seem to remember the owner of the company died before production could begin.

Now with required hotlink.

And built by the same guy.

Sorry, no hotlink, but relevant.
