It looks like straight from a Marvel comic. Is it just a drawing or was it really built?

Itīs a scan from an advertisement.
The person behind this project is quite known and various types of special bodies have been planned for production.

I only know of a different car that carries the builderīs name. (That car has been an autopuzzles topic)

Maybe it has only been a brainchild, but I want to show you the second type of car from the ad here:

So, then it must be sketches for his Singer Airstream/Ford V8 concepts I suppose.

The second drawing in very similar to Airstream's one-off study on a Ford V8 in 1936, a car that was completed.

Very good!

Woodinsight will get his point when Iīll be back home.

I knew it!

I miss you all!

I'm sure that everyone misses your presence here PJ!
Looking forward to your return - sooner rather than later....

In the meantime I've jumped the gun by posting another view of the Ford V8 Airstream (Fitzmaurice) that I found yesterday.
