Wendax,
The grill reminds me of Dodge, late 30's- 47
The headlights look GM- ish
The hubcaps reming me of packard.
My guess is Packard Chassis, era of design, 1940's?

As I recall, not a Packard chassis. More on Monday.

They are

Since the guess about the gm-ish lights is correct>>
Harleys Y Job was from 1938, so if this is GM-ish for headlights, Pontiac, 1948, conceptual design?

Hubcaps still look like packard though.

It is not a design study by GM. This car just used GM headlamps, but was conceived by a small company.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #39 on:** November 06, 2011, 05:57:24 AM »

American
not a well known designer
later than 30s
Darrin

Stearns-Knight
DeVaux
Williams
Count Alexis de Sakhnoffsky

GM headlamps but not by or for GM

Was it the only car by this company?

Wendax · « **Reply #40 on:** November 06, 2011, 03:47:12 PM »

I think so

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #41 on:** November 06, 2011, 05:13:20 PM »

1940s

1950s?

Wendax · « **Reply #44 on:** November 07, 2011, 02:35:32 AM »

Yes, at least it was mentioned in a 1950s magazine.

woodinsight · « **Reply #45 on:** November 07, 2011, 05:15:34 AM »

I seem to remember a car produced in 1953 called a Star Dust - presumably that's a resounding NO also!

Wendax · « **Reply #46 on:** November 07, 2011, 05:24:03 AM »

That's a no for your
