The wheels are too small and the Goodyear All-Weather tyres tires must be out of date by now!

[el_monty]

The wheels are indeed too small! The builders of the car had limited time and resources and that is probably all they could get their hands on.

[Allan L]

Packard chassis of about 1926 perhaps?

[el_monty]

The chassis is not Packard and is later than 1926

"The builders of the car had limited time and resources . . ."  Was it built in a former Warsaw Pact country?

[el_monty]

Hehe, no, nothing to do with the Warsaw pact countries.

Pierce-Arrow!

[D-type]

Chassis from the USA?

[el_monty]

Locked for FrontMan!
It is a Pierce-Arrow chassis. Tell me who built this unfinished body to win the point.

[FrontMan]

This must be the special built by students at McPherson College, Kansas, USA.

[el_monty]

Point for Frontman!
This body was built by the students of McPherson college in three months, using a 1930 Pierce-Arrow chassis as a base. The design was inspired by the 1929 Packard Thompson-Glasscock Special (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2011-39/solved-neh-1225-thompson-special-glasscock-speedster-based-on-1929-packard/). The story appeared in The Old Motor website in May 2016.
