The car at 1:00 and 1:20 is not one of the six McQuay-Norrises. I've seen the first picture but not the second.

As late as the first part of this month, most people who knew what a McQuay-Norris was believed that just one of the six such cars built still existed. That’s understandable, given that for many years most people believed none of the cars had survived. Yet at the three-day dispersal of much of the late Mark Smith’s collection last week, a second McQuay-Norris streamliner resurfaced and subsequently sold for $57,500 despite its dilapidated state.
It's possibly is this:

For years, only one McQuay-Norris was thought to still exist. Now a ...
Oct 27, 2022The McQuay-Norris looked suspiciously like Lyman Voelpel's 1932 Arrow Plane with their bodies more like blimp gondolas, their wheels in pods separate from the body envelope, and their doors mounted amidships. That's no coincidence, given that Hill Auto Body Metal Co. of Cincinnati built

While the Arrow Plane used a rather unconventional drivetrain with a Miller overhead-valve-equipped Ford four-cylinder engine mounted in the rear and driving the front wheels (similar to the Dymaxion, another streamlined car that appeared at roughly the same time)...

Vintage shots from days gone by! | Page 5806 | The H.A.M.B.
Chicago resident Lyman Voelpel commissioned the Hill Auto Body & Metal Co., of Cincinnati Ohio View attachment 4126824 to construct his 1932 "Arrow Plane." Built on a 1932 Ford model B chassis with a 4-cylinder turned around and mounted in the rear. The engine was equipped with a Miller OHV
...but that one is full of broken links but no Arrow Plane.
