    That first picture looks like an optical illusion.

    That first picture confuses me . Some sort of illusion I guess ,maybe I'm too tired . Looks like an extra quarter panel in a weird place?

    Nope, the one pictured has 3 fins, one in the middle of the trunk,also it looks like the doors are welded shut and cut down to allow easy entry.

    Sorry... don't recognize it.
    There where quite a few of these Sports Customs with more than two (Caddy)tail-fins added. But none of the once I remember looked like this.

    All I know is what you see here. Pics were posted on another forum where someone happened to stumble upon the car and snap a couple of pics. He was told the car was a Stutz, which obviously it is not body wise but it might be built on a rare (and valuable) 30's Stutz frame. I asked the poster if he would provide contact info for the owner and he did not reply. Now you all know everything I know.
