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.
That´s the only info I have.

Ok, "Case Special Super Speedster" by Russ Case. ?

Title: Re: SAC#522
Post by: SACO on July 19, 2013, 02:41:39 AM
OK , Case Special Super Speedster" by Russ Case 1951( perhaps modified by Flajole 1954 ? )
1 point for you !  :)
Title: Re: SAC#522 : Case Special Super Speedster
Post by: Allemano on July 19, 2013, 01:28:12 PM
The Case Special is technically a completely different car than Flajole's Forerunner. The bumper treatment and the overall shape speaks more for the Case Special in my opinion.
