I've seen this one before and specifically this photo which I always saw as a cartoonists depiction of a car:

I could just see Bugs Bunny in it. But as a real 1:1, it hits me like most others here, a fun ride! Excellent materials on it John, wonderful pick.

My reaction too Tony. Looks like a car out of a comic book. Smaller fenders might have helped. Still, very creative for the times.

interesting about Bugs! He appears more focused on the carrot than the road! 

Great historical car story as always John, thanks.

Here's Jay Leno (without a carrot!)
