There were only 135 of these ever made and yesterday I saw two of them in the same place. The tail end of the other one is just visible at the extreme left side of the frame. Who will be the first here to identify the car? My money is on Pete.

Yes, mine too are on Pete.

Awesome car and capture Brent.

You have both lost your money!

I don't know much about US autos, I can just about recognise a 'vette and an Edsel!

Looks like everybody is stumped on this one. It is a 1934 Brewster Town Car. They were built on a Ford chassis using stretched aluminum.

I have heard of Brewster, they built very elegant bodies on many of the Rolls Royce chassis shipped to the US; didn't know that they made their own cars though.
