Hah!  I just happened to be perusing Hemmings articles when this comes up.
It is a 1934 Rier-McCaslin streamliner.

That is the car yes.
Apparently almost nothing is known about it and it might be the last of the undiscovered 1930's streamliners (hope not!), apart from the fact that it was built in Maine by Gene Rier and Bud McCaslin in 1934.

If anyone knows anything more do please post any info you have.
