Production car or one-off/concept?

I wouldn't call it a concept, although there's been some thinking applied to tis project. If you look carefully at the picture you will notice an obvious reason why it's no concept. So, purely a one-off.

No, a detail that doesn't fit. But the point is: it's not a concept-car.

Nope. And, as said before, a one-off.

I think this is the Cramer Comet, built by Tom Cramer in the 1950s, made from lots of bits of lots of cars from that era, however the engine is an Allison aircraft engine from a P-51 Mustang!
I would imagine it is fairly brisk.

I am away until Friday. I'll award you your point and move this puzzle when back.
