Saw this recently. Wondered if anyone could ID it?
No, it is not a Dodge Magnum. :P
95% certain we've had this one before. Let's see if an eagle-eye rookie digs it up.
I can say with certainty that it was the only one ever built. And it is just as ugly in person as it appears to be in the photo! ::)
I'll be glad if someone can ID this, because I've had it on my HD for long and don't know much about it.

And the eye-roll signifies what, PJ?
That I know exactly were you saw it...
(BTW what is the exact meaning of that smiley...it seems to be upsetting for some of us!)
Do you? You may mean this one below.
Whatever it is, I know the name of that car, although some of the information about it seems wrong.
But let's leave some rookie a chance.
:popcorn:
Which smiley?

Eye-rolling, performed by rotating the eyes upward and back down, can indicate incredulity, contempt, boredom, frustration, or exasperation. The gesture can be unconscious or can be performed consciously. The gesture occurs in many countries of the world, and is especially common among adolescents.

Thank you...now I recall this is the 2nd time I'm asking you...I'll need a smiley with someone whistling to express the "I know what you are talking about but I won't tell" status, then. ;D

:lmao:
Sorry to disagree with those Armstrong sisters about eye rolling:
They left out a very important meaning, the Groucho Marx meaning. This is the one most perfectly suggested by this smiley (who in my opinion doesn't evoke at all things like frustration, boredom, and so on)
The Groucho Marx meaning (and he was THE master eye roller) has a tongue in cheek connotation, requests some see-what-I-mean complicity with the person it is intended for, and may be eventually sexually connoted when adressed to Margaret Dumont.
Groucho is the exception
As the father of of a teen, I can tell you the sisters are spot-on.

1936 Aerodynamic Harris Steam Car
no need to move it...that is the (almost) right answer.
I've been informed that MG has some importand matters to face and his slow response has got a valid reason.
I hope he doesn't mind if I declare it solved:
This car was built by H. R.
Hariss of Grosse Pointe, Michigan.
It's a streamline prototype powered by a steam engine developing 30hp.
...or it's Harris???
They discussed about this car in another forum and it is definetly Harris.
