Never seen it before. First try to come near to it by confirming the obvious:
1930s US American rear engined one-off streamliner, not yet featured at AutoPuzzles.

Partially correct.
1 car was completed (this one) and another one was under construction (don't know if it was completed too).

Here you are all there is to know to find it:
The builder of this car is not american but he comes from an european country.
He built this car in a small american city that almost shares its name with a bigger city (just one letter less).
A company was estabilished to manufacture this cars (XXXXXX Motors, Inc.).
The protype was planned to use a rotary engine, later switched to a Ford V8 unit.
The control system of the car was of aeronautical type. (push the steering wheel in to accelerate, pull it out to brake).
3 models with different wheelbases and power output were planned.
A racing version was studied with two 600hp engines and 350mph.
One running car and 4 frames were completed.
The builder left the States and back in his country was involved in a well known company were he designed a very well know object.
He build also another streamlined special in another country.
The car was discovered and sold in the 80s.

Not a car but an object very common in each house but not in that form.
If you know the nation, you'll immediatly guess the company (it's like "Switzerland and Swatch"...)
If you know the company, you'll have immediatelythe object but if you know the object it won't take you much to find out the company...(it's like "whatches and Swatch").
Once you'll know the object\company you will have the name.

I won't tell you too much because this man and the object he designed is VERY known...(well the object at least)...and once you have it, google will do the rest in 5 seconds.
