1934 Graham Paige "Brookes Special"!
The more I consider the nature of speed, the more mysterious I find it.

1934 Graham Paige "Brookes Special"!

That's the one! Built in 1949 from a wrecked 1934 Graham-Paige with a supercharged straight-8 motor. It was in a Bonhams auction - Rear chassis by Austin, rear axle from a Chrysler, Windscreen from a 1922 Cluley, steering wheel from a 1925 Bean, a real mixture of marques.

One point to you.

I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia
