The picture below is dated back to 1935. No name was given in a description mentioning it as a new American car. The only idea I have that this could be a Stout Scarab (prototype maybe). Any other ideas, plase?

Looks pretty darned close to this early example, including the diagonal line in the rear 3/4 window.

That's what I have too, but it looks more modern than the better-known Stouts to me.
However, it dates from the late '30s so may well be his first.

Here's a rear view, gleaned incidentally from:

Seems this one is from 1935?

Here's an article from June 1935, so it is probably the date when the car was shown in public:

Heres an austrian February 1935 magazine clipping:

Here is an illustration from 1932, which looks akin to the puzzle pic, leading me to believe this puzzle should reflect that year ('32), as well.

Second pic is a period photo of a '35 Stout Scarab.
