Not that it's much help, but General Jumbo wheels and tires, 1920s-1930s era aftermarket balloon tires.

Built by comedian Ralph Cook in 1932/1933.  Currently has a straight-6 Chevrolet engine.  The source of the puzzle image indicates the car would do 96 MPH and get 29 MPG.  I haven't found any indication of what Ralph Cook called his speedster.

Researching elsewhere, I came across the rear view of this car.  I thought it would make a good puzzle, until I saw the front view, in recent, neglected form.  And I recognized this puzzle.
