Is that a Henry J chassis?  Look like Kaiser wire wheels.

No I don't believe so.
It's a one-off.

All right then, I've removed my clues.  Perhaps they were a bit too helpful..

OK, you got it.
Must have been those clues I gave yesterday but quickly deleted (after you'd seen them!)?

So the word "custom" got the point, or did the word "roadster"? ;)

Yes, bit unsatisfactory.
Just something a bit more than 'Allard' to accurately describe that it wasn't a production car, plus the year.
That's exactly what it's described as on the 'Net.
The full description Allemano gave was straight off a website advertising the car For Sale in Salt Lake City.  I honestly thought you'd get it with the info you had so far (Googling 'Allard Roadster' would have got it I think) which is why I locked it for you.   You dipped out, which gave Allemano the chance to jump in using the info he'd seen and objected to.

Sorry Otto.  I can give you a point if you think you've earned it?  I'd be happy to do so.
