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

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.

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.
