I have seen pictures of this one and finally found one for sale.  Jerry Rettig, who for years has been Land of Enchantment Coachbuilders, used the term "Saguaro" on this resin 1937 Packard Darrin Hollywood Convertible, built on a Solido base.  The work is fabulous, as is the Saguaro cactus.  I confess that this southern Appalachian hillbilly had to look it up: 

Saguaro National Park (U.S. National Park Service) https://www.nps.gov  › sagu

Tucson, Arizona, is home to the nation's largest cacti. (And also home to Jerry Rettig.) The giant saguarois is the universal symbol of the American west.
