Buick?

[Otto Puzzell]

Whatever it is, it's making me chuckle. 

[Ray B.]

Buick?

There are a few Buick parts. A few.

[Joao Gois]

Production car or one-off/concept?

[Ray B.]

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?

[Ray B.]

No, a detail that doesn't fit. But the point is: it's not a concept-car.

[fnqvmuch]

Zil?

[Ray B.]

Nope. And, as said before, a one-off.

Plymouth related?

Plymouth related?

Why this question ??
Related to many, but not to Plymouth.

[neilshouse]

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.

[Ray B.]

Brisk is hardly the word: 1350 hp!
I am away until Friday. I'll award you your point and move this puzzle when back.

[Otto Puzzell]

I want one! 

[Joao Gois]

I'd prefer the Jameson Mk II but this would be just fine... 

Any more pics??

[Ray B.]

Not home now - Post them this weekend.
Given the point to Neilshouse, one more and he makes 100.
Moved to solved.

Any more pics??

...but if you Google, you find the same 7 pics!

[Joao Gois]

That's what I was doing! Just hadn't got to those b&w frame pics, but the rest is from Pebble Beach, right?

[Paul Jaray]

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!

[Joao Gois]

Well, the sky and the rest of the background must've been Photoshopped...

Damn, I love airplane-enguned cars... 

[Ray B.]

I think you missed this one...

[Paul Jaray]

ok, here's the last one:
