Kind of a cool car, reminds me of the Johnny Cash song about the guy who worked in the Cadillac plant and took some parts home every day after work.

When this one was done they were not classics yet.

So does anyone have any recollection of this car at all? 

Any suggestions on how I might research some old car magazines to see if it was ever featured?
