Clue time then. The image is from a video of a car show that happened recently but images of the car are to be found online.

The chassis and running gear are from a Cadillac Eldorado.

"Kurtis Omohundro Comet" but before the 50ies. Unbelievable

Why aren't they building such cars today.

Well it is but I thought that reference was for the Auburn so I'm sorry if that was a point of confusion. Over to you.

U misled on the decade; it was an aluminum body not fiberglass; and it was built on a Ford frame with a (Ford)Mercury engine...not GM...throw in Jimbunas no cows in households fib it's a plot! I viewed the Kurtis Omohundro Comet but disregarded it base on forties decade, not fiberglass and not GM...I cry FOUL!
