You know it?
I do not.
I just have some information about where and when. And I think I know the technical basis.
But maybe someone else can tell me some news?
No ideas? Promoted...
To the pros.
I see bits of Hispano Suiza and Pierce Arrow...
Yes, Pal, I agree with your last post.
The thing is I do not know anything about this one despite the year 1936, when the picture was made.
I also know the place and the overall topic of that photographic essay, which this pic ihas been a part of.
Maybe anyone can tell me some facts? Or will it just get another black hole inhabitant?...
That's what we call a botticella body I suppose . . .
One more try, then this one goes to the black hole....
May this rest in the black hole.. :-\
I found the same pic...but no name. :-\
Then we can reveal that the photo was taken by the famous female Life-Magazine photographer Margaret Bourke-White at Fort Peck, where she did an essay about the dam building project:
Fort Peck, Montana, Relief Project Pierce Arrow, Lincoln, Plymouth Et All Car, November 11, 1936
Maybe this will help someone else to carry on with this vehicle?
I took it from a well known blog, but no info can be found there.
I fear this will remain just another mystery car....
Re uploaded, as it has still been lost after #THEBIGRESCUE... ;)

Was looking for something else, when I stumbled into this photograph again.
It is possible to read online the Fort Peck Press from 1934-1937. I started browsing through the issues, but it is very time consuming. Would anyone like to participate?

I posted this here as I hoped someone else might do this instead :)
I could do it
The first ad I've found is a guy called Grover C. Conger, Jr., who was selling a 1930 Plymouth with a fitted Essex body.
There's no picture of this car in the Fort Peck press
There's no specific info about this car in the Fort Peck press. The puzzle picture was taken as we already know by Margaret Bourke-White, who worked for Life Magazine. So I think there's no way it could be published by a local newspaper. Anyway here is another picture from Margaret Bourke-White Collection
Thanks for looking into this
My pleasure. I do enjoy searching
