A different view of this Pontiac Special:

pnegyesi · April 05, 2011, 05:56:58 AM

Is it mentioned as Pontiac-engined in the aforementioned book?

Otto Puzzell · April 05, 2011, 06:03:26 AM

Driven by Robert Sohus?

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2011, 06:04:11 AM

Nope.
The builder is mentioned there with a special with a different engine.
My source, a couple of magazines, shows 2 pics with detailed technical specs and there is reported that the car had different engines (Ford and Cadillac) but in this form is equipped with a Pontiac engine. The body was not by Devin or Meteor...but not an obscure name.

Otto Puzzell · April 05, 2011, 06:07:51 AM

Any connection with Frank Townsend?

Noot by him.
The car is named after his (winning) driver.

The builder of the body is not American, sorry!

D'oh!

Engine apart, I don't know.

I forgot to tell you that is was street legal!

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2011, 06:10:02 AM

Sorry about that but if I tell you where the body comes from it'll be too easy.

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2011, 06:55:51 AM

Last clue.
This car had many different configurations.
One should be quite known and you can find 5 pages of results googling these names (body builder and driver) and the another was already featured here.

Sadler-Meyer Special?

Paul Jaray · April 05, 2011, 07:30:47 AM

We have a Winner!
This car is called (in my source) the Meyer's Pontiac Special.
Well done!
