Not an Ashley Regent

I would try AKS but there isn't anyone called that on the Forum.
There IS a Falcon but the only Falcon it could really be is an early Bermuda and that doesn't start with an R...
So I seem to be stumped!

I did think of Ray but discounted it because there is nothing at all in any of my 'Complete Encyclopedias' that begins with Ray at all. So I have no chance whatsoever of getting this one.
And there doesn't seem to be anything on the Internet either, although I'm sure you'll know otherwise...

I only have one source for it. Famous site.

Was it designed and built by Raymond Flowers after he left the Frisky outfit in about 1958?

OK, believe he did build another car but it was just named after him..
But I may be wrong as I can't find a picture of it!

A modern-day pic of #16

Arthur Bentas of Chelmsford, Massachusetts built a beautiful custom car during the 1950s, known as the Raven. It was built from scratch and the project actually began with a 1939 Dodge chassis and a 6-cylinder L-head engine. The windshield was also from a Dodge. The doors, hood and front fenders were courtesy of a 1954 Kaiser. A 1952 Chevrolet hood was modified to become the trunk and was given a Lasalle tire cover. The taillight rings were from a 1950 Pontiac while the taillight lenses came from a 1956 Desoto. The hardtop and dashboard were created by hand by Arthur out of fiberglass. The rear bumper came from a Kaiser and a dual exhaust system was snaked through the bumper.
