This looks to be a later customization of a show car called the Stiletto, which was Corvair based and picked-up as a design for a model kit, I believe by MPC, but I'm having a great deal of trouble seeking it out.

[Tuckeroo]

...I think it was a Gene Winfield creation for AMT, come to think of it.  Still working on it.

Is this what you're thinking about?

Ah, yes.  I knew the name Gene figured in somewhere.  Don't know what else I know...

[Otto Puzzell]

I guess those do look a bit similar. I don't know who built the puzzle car, only what it was titled at the museum where it was displayed.

[Otto Puzzell]

Pros?

It also shows some striking similarities (except the.. ahem... front fenders) with the Chevrolet Astro III, but it seems smaller. Any connection?

[Otto Puzzell]

I don't know of any.

[Otto Puzzell]

How can I keep these puzzles current...?

[Otto Puzzell]

I'm shocked that this hasn't been solved yet.

[Otto Puzzell]

None of these clues has switched on the lightbulb for anyone...

[Ray B.]

All right, all right, we know it's electric.
But that's all, as far as I am concerned.

[Otto Puzzell]

OK - this car is associated by name, as well as by current location, with some stars.

This is called the 'Cosmic Invader Electric Car' and all I can find out about it is that it resides in the Kruse Automotive and Carriage Museum.

This car is another creation of Carl Casper
