FWIW, that car has some ties to car audio :)

After the demise of this company, the owner started a company that sold some of the first aftermarket audio stuff for cars, 4 tracks and eq/boosters. :D

Haha, yes!!! This car also had some of those early unique items, as some were equipped with an interesting recording device and iirc some even had a phone system...

And Shepherds we shall be, for Thee my lord for Thee.
Power hath descended forth from Thy hand,
that our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command.
So we shall flow a river forth to Thee,
and teeming with souls shall it ever be.
In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.

Thor, who I assumed knew the answer by his post previous to this one, is correct. The car(s) pictured is a Muntz Jet. In their time they were more expensive than a cadillac, you could almost buy two for the price. They were still a steal in the sense that they were sold for $1000 less than they cost to produce...

Search a little on the company and guy, Earl 'Madman' Muntz, and what he did...I think the story is pretty interesting...
