Source says just Jeep.

So we have a 1947 homebuilt streamliner from Colorado with a Jeep engine. I guess you are looking for a name?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #17 on:** November 22, 2015, 07:18:04 AM »

So far so good!
He was from Denver.

Was this picture lifted from a website or from a Facebook group?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #19 on:** November 22, 2015, 02:25:15 PM »

I found it on Facebook.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #20 on:** November 22, 2015, 03:30:23 PM »

Does this page focus on early custom cars?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #21 on:** November 22, 2015, 03:43:42 PM »

Not that. But I googled the words describing it and I found back that group, a quite popular website and a public library featuring it

Art Murray, former Air Corps gunner behind wheel and Edward Kaufman, both of Denver, display an all aluminum coupe type convertible in North Hollywood. It is good for 100 miles per hour, weighs 1500 pounds, rides five inches off ground, has a nine foot wheel base and custom built body around four cylinder jeep engine back of driver's seat. Murray built it himself.

Sounds right to me

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #24 on:** November 28, 2015, 07:35:19 AM »

Yes! I think after the 'big move' of last week, something got lost: I already moved it!
Here's your point Wendax, well done!
