1954 Cramer Comet with a 12 cyl aircraft engine producing 1350hp<p>The body of the Cramer Comet was made from De Sotos, <br>Dodges, Oldsmobiles, Buicks, Studebakers, Cadillacs, Lincolns, <br>and Fords. Part of the tubular chassis is made up of four-inch <br>refrigerator tubing filled with coolant that runs to a rear-mounted <br>radiator. The engine is mounted in reverse and is heavily insulated.<p>It is expected to fetch about $300,000 at auction.<p><IMG SRC="http://usera.imagecave.com/Spectral/morecars/cramer_comet_01sm.jpg" BORDER="0"> <p><IMG SRC="http://usera.imagecave.com/Spectral/morecars/cramer_comet_04sm.jpg" BORDER="0"><BR><BR>

1938 Phantom Corsair. One of a kind, built on a Cord 810 chassis, and designed/financed by ketchup-heir Rust Heinz, as part of his project to produce limited copies for $12,000 each (Bugatti/Duesenberg money then). Heinz had one car completed, and was killed shortly after in a car wreck at age 21. VERY space-age for its time.<p> <IMG SRC="http://fortinspace.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/02/1938_phantom_corsair.jpg" BORDER="0">
