History 27 on 32 rails possible little book car from Kansas?

Jeffery (Moses) just picked up this cool little roadster and the old timer said it was in the old little hot-rod mags back in the day. Said the car was originally from The Kansas area and may have some dry lakes history. Moses will post more pics later this week. If anyone knows any history please share.

 

In Tex Smiths Hot Rod history book 1 the beginning on page 165 there is a pic of a 27 with the same style windshield, but looks like it's on an Essex frame, looks close.

 

here we go all help appreciated

Neat car. The V8 on the headlight bar...behind the grille shell is interesting.

That would be a fun one for the East vs. West flathead run in September.

It's on a '32 frame and a '32 gas tank has had the filler moved to the center top. I'm thinking that they used a '32 headlight bar with an origional V8 emblem for the lights. Neat little roadster. Hope you find all about it's history.

How cool is that???? The windscreen looks familiar but I cannot definitively recall seeing this car. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

 

Very cool little roadster. That's the first time I've seen split bones mounted like that. Doesn't look right, was that common or safe? Awesome piece of hot rod history.

There are some plates welded in the frame, but it is uncommon from what we usually see.
