From what I can see of the mechanicals, they appear to be Mopar based [thats Chry, Desoto, Dodge and Plym].

There are some (you'll need to pick one brand), though very few are visible.

It looks as if it may be riding on a Chrysler Imperial chassis of about 1930-1 with a straight eight side-valve engine. Don't know who the builder is, though.

Maybe something to do with the Indy 500?

[Otto Puzzell]

The frame was fabricated by the builder; the axles and wheels are from a Chrysler brand.

There is no direct Indy connection, but that fabled race was the inspiration for the builder.
