    Is the body aluminum? Looks like a single seater that was cut in half and widened. With the headrest it most likely dates from the very late 1930's-40's. Bob

    That is one interesting car. I'm going to have to save the photos to study for my boat tail with a Flathead Ford six going in it.

    Pretty sure you are looking at an old sprint car body.
