Um . .  Carnut? I really feel guilty NOW, but I'll claim this one  ;)

George McLaughlin Roadster built from salvaged parts in the 1940s. The chassis came from an old Ford, and it featured a Ford flathead V8 engine. A low-slung body with an enormous grille was built from scratch. A 1936 Ford coupe roof was modified to fit the body. The roof could be lifted off on hot days. The build took several years, and George never finished it.

No need to apologise.
It's a puzzle which is there to be solved and you've solved it!
I have nothing more to add except a couple more pictures:
