I thought it surely must be, but I couldn't find it.  I'll have another look.

Edit:
Ok, I've found the picture but only within another thread for a different puzzle.
I can't see that this particular car has ever been puzzled, amazingly.

I believe it is a 1932 Coleman Maron designed by Harleigh Holmes for Coleman Motor Co featuring the little explored rear-engined, front wheel drive-setup.

Yes, that's right (though it's actually the Maroon, named after the colour it was painted, like all the other Coleman cars).
It had a Pontiac V8 in the back, driving the front wheels as you said!
Interesting story.
