There were 2 roadsters like this, one had a Cord engine the other a flathead Cad, I think this is the Cord powered car.

 

Thats interesting did the Cord have pipes out the top intake area like the Cad? Both owned by the Same owner?

The other one was a 32 I believe.

 

@John Lee Williamson I did some snooping around on that and typically of the Hamb there are several threads to reference...this was owned by Don Berg and was Caddilac Flatty Powered

Thanks for posting the Cad roadster pict. the Cord engined roadster was owned by a man from Pasadena I think, it had the pipes out the top too. I'm searching for a picture.

 

Your very welcome...

Found the Cord Hotrod...

Quoted by the Late Hamber Rockerhead in reference to reversing the Cord Front wheel drive Cord Powertrain...

"Attached is a picture of the front of my 1937 supercharged Cord model 812. The hood and grille ( fence ) is off here as I just rebuilt the transmission. Perhaps this will give you an idea of the arrangement of the Cord design. Note that the transmission is in the front of the car and is actually a transaxle arrangement. Incidently the Cords used a Lycoming V-8 engine that was especially designed for them. Lycoming at the time was owned by the Cord Corporation.
Walt Rose's roadster had the engine pointed the opposite as the stock so it could drive the rear wheels. Note that the distributor is toward the rear while it is towards the front in a stock Cord.
Gail Shaw is indeed a knowledgeable Cord guy.
The Cord was an advanced designed car over 70 years ago.
Many years ago I used a 1936 Cord sedan, modified to rear wheel drive to set numerous records at the dry lakes and the drags. I always liked the looks of E. L. Cord's cars.

Carl Fleischmann roadster still looking for the Cord engine one.

 

In January of 1948, the SCTA Road Runners held a picnic at Santa Anita Park. Walt Rose showed up in this ’27 T roadster powered by a blown ’37 Cord V-8. Of course Cords were front-wheel drive, so Walt had to the run the motor backwards to get the power to the rear wheels. Add that oddity to the fact that Cord motors feature exhaust runners on the top of the motor (similar to Cad) and you have one interesting little roadster. I even enjoy the cut down doors, flat boat screen, and what appears to be a GM frame under the Ford body.
I’m sure Walt heard a snicker or two as he pulled into the park, but it’s hard to laugh at 200 horsepower in such a light car… Especially in 1948. Imaginary louvers Cord mill. Walter had a reverse Cam ground to make the Cord engine run backwards, A lot of work back then.

Two carbs shy of a full house...but I'm sure there was more than enough power to push things along just fine...and to that end did they even make 8 carbed manifolds...Loudbang, what is this a Hemi powered Tri five Chevy?
