Mr. Russ Case a conducter wasn't that excited by USAmerican post war cars, so, he made his own.
He paid $ 15.022 for this. Base car was a plain military Jeep that he equipped with an one piece fibreglass body and a bubble windshield of Plexiglass.

My source says $15,200, but the price was not part of the puzzle requirement. A point for you!

I think the car is called the "Beast"
The car was shown at the 1951 Bridgehamptom Cup Race, as a tow-car.
The side of the car was promoting "Grand Prix Motors..Unique Motor Cars of Quality".
The car have a Jeep engine.
Thatīs the only info I have.
