I'll have to check the power plant when I am back home, but it was completed later than 1956

I did think it looked a bit more 1959-ish but the only references I could find to Russ Graham were from 1955/6 so I didn't know what happened to him after that (if it's the same Russ Graham!)

Okay, so it's later than 1956 (and not 1959 either) and doesn't have a Chevy motor. The roof and screen are from a T-Bird, though

Chevrolet 350...but you already ruled it out.
According to a known source it was on display at the Portland Roadster Show in the Series 350 Custom Sports Car.

That's all, folks.

A tough one, and difficult to award points. I'll give one to Carnut for the first mention of Chrysler power, and one to Otto for digging out more info. Well done guys
