I found pictures of a similar car at http://oldcarandtruckpictures.com/OldClassicConvertibles/index-a.html that was identified as a "1935 Cord Roadster (1966 Glenn Pray 8/10 Cord replicar)" A brief history is given here: http://www.stutzbearcat.com/cordhistory.htm According to them, the Glenn Pray 8/10 Sportsman was a front-wheel drive replica with a Corvair engine and a composite body made from Royalite plastic. They give the years 1964-1966 and a production total of 97 units.
