Nice wheels.

I saw my error and went back and added the names of the 1949 Georges Irat convertible by Labourdette and 1957 Abarth 750 Coupe Goccia. That post was getting verbose, so I saved these until kach22i had posted:

1932 Arrow Plane

Quote:
The Arrow Plane, which still survives, is probably best known as the spiritual predecessor/prototype for the six Ford-based streamliners built in 1933-1934 as display vans for McQuay-Norris, a St. Louis-based auto parts manufacturer.


Quote:
This one, however, we can only try to identify with educated guesses. As mentioned in Gottlieb’s story and in our post on the Arrow Plane, Hill also built a land yacht for Grove Laboratories and a streamlined bus for Bromo Seltzer....so it could very well be one of those two projects.
