For one point, specify the year, name, and builder of this cute coupe.

(After some research, I discovered that the word "coupe" may not entirely apply to this vehicle.)

Up!

Nothing from the Rookies, what do the Experts have to say?

French are capable for things like that, basis probably Peugeot

Part of the body is from Europe, but not from France.

LOCKED for luisps

It is in fact, the 1939 H-D Prototype, currently at LeMay Marymount.

To finish earning your point, name the man who built this car.

luisps

And the point goes to luisps for the complete answer.  The original image of the puzzle image, includes a lot of text about what parts were used to create this car.

It must have been quite a car, with a flathead V8 in a Fiat 508C body.
