Never officially produced as a functional car, but at least one unofficial reproduction/recreation has been built by an individual.

That's it! Donald Duck's 1934 Belchfire Runabout (aka "313"), which reportedly borrowed components from other fictional automobiles. The iconic car made its first appearances in 1937-38.

Cutaway artwork by Claude Lacroix:

I like the fake "make" names in the cartoon -- Mixwell, Dudge, Paclac (a cross between Packard & Cadillac?). But I'd say that "Dudge" body looks closer in vintage to '32 than '22.
