OK, I think this has been in rookie-land long enough. Time to move to expert-land.

I knew it was a Victress body, so I started looking and found that this car still exists and here are pictures.  According to this site it is called the Williams.  It uses a Victress S-4 body mounted on a 1940 Ford chassis.

Very good!

What's missing (although I'll give you the point anyway) is the fact that this was a steam-powered car.

BTW, I'd looked all over the 'net for this make & never found it, but then stumbled across it in a book I'd had for years.

I remembered that the car had been at the Studebaker Museum in South Bend in the last few years and there were pictures on flickr.com of it there.

They both used the Victress S-4 body, but they were 2 different cars:
