Not quite.
It wasn't part of PJ's Streamline Time questions, but you are right that it is pictured in that thread somewhere.  It has never actually featured as a Puzzle anywhere on this site.
But you still haven't identified it correctly!
Will lock it for you for the moment to come up with the right answer.

looks to be the car made by Ray Russell in 1943, constructed from plywood.  still looking

[navara]

It's his plastic bodied car, not the plywood one. although they look quite similar
'summer 1941, when he built a plastic-bodied car, Russell's plastic car used a framework of welded steel tubing to support a wire mesh contour, to which he applied ethyl cellulose plastic up to 1/8-inch thick with a modified caulking gun. The envelope body styling might have been considered revolutionary, but the 1942 Chrysler-like grille bars suggest Russell had his eye on the latest Chrysler designs, including the envelope-bodied Thunderbolt''

That's the one!
