Solved - MJW #1077 - Maserati 8C-2500 Coupe proposal c.1933/34

I doubt if this car was ever built but it was a proposal by the manufacturer.
No coachbuilder was mentioned but if you can identify the make and model it was designed for you will earn a point.

Is it a proposed sketch, for a Voisin Aerosport?

The top of rear glass, remember me the Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow...so I guess it was a design for a coupè.

I haven't spent any time on this one, so I'm probably way off.  However, it sure does remind me of a 1937 Squire 1.5 liter.  I believe the few that were made were all dropheads, but this might have been a proposal for a fixed head.  The drawing looks like something Corsica might have done, and the did at least one Squire drophead.
