Buick?
Whatever it is, it's making me chuckle. :D
Production car or one-off/concept?
I wouldn't call it a concept, although there's been some thinking applied to tis project. If you look carefully at the picture you will notice an obvious reason why it's no concept. So, purely a one-off.

Too ordinary? :huh:
No, a detail that doesn't fit. But the point is: it's not a concept-car.
Zil?
Nope. And, as said before, a one-off.
Plymouth related?

Why this question ??
Related to many, but not to Plymouth.
I think this is the Cramer Comet, built by Tom Cramer in the 1950s, made from lots of bits of lots of cars from that era, however the engine is an Allison aircraft engine from a P-51 Mustang!
I would imagine it is fairly brisk.
Brisk is hardly the word: 1350 hp!
I am away until Friday. I'll award you your point and move this puzzle when back.
I want one! ;D
I'd prefer the Jameson Mk II but this would be just fine... ;D
Any more pics??
Not home now - Post them this weekend.
Given the point to Neilshouse, one more and he makes 100.
Moved to solved.

...but if you Google, you find the same 7 pics!
That's what I was doing! Just hadn't got to those b&w frame pics, but the rest is from Pebble Beach, right?
I really do not know, but look at the chromes, you can see other cars on display and a white building...probably you're right, even if the grass seems not so Pebblishly!
Well, the sky and the rest of the background must've been Photoshopped...
Damn, I love airplane-enguned cars... ;D :hyper:
I think you missed this one...
ok, here's the last one:

And there was too the White Triplex Special "Spirit of Elkdom" but, as a record car, I doubt it would be street legal. But still a rather amazing piece of machinery (as dangerous as it could be...).
Oh, and there's too the Monaco-Trossi, a FWD radial-engined racing car!
Wasn't the Mohs Ostentatienne Opera powered by a fire truck engine?
I´ll look for some information about the Mohs engine

It had an international Harvester V8, as I understand it.
A nice front view:
