1938 Phantom Corsair
Built on an extended Cord 810 front-drive chassis, the Corsair was designed and commissioned by Rust Heinz, a ketchup heir whose true passion was automobile design. While it weighed more than 4,600 lbs with its Bohman & Schwartz-built bodywork, top speed was a claimed 115 mph due to its aerodynamic shape. Heinz intended to put the Corsair into limited production, but his death in a 1939 auto accident ended the plan. The single prototype now resides in the National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada.
