And it had a roof that lifted a little automatically when the driver's door was opened so that men could get in without removing their trilbies...

My, how the world changes...

Amazing - like the recently-posted Packard Balboa, I'm a bit amazed this interesting car was never posted before

Right - and I still have a stock of US concepts which have never been posted but I'm reluctant to do so because they are too easy!
And yet they should be on the AutoPuzzles database somewhere!
