1938 Phantom Corsair

[93bencomo]

Me encanta este coche, es elegante, esbelto y aerodinámico. Ojalá los diseñadores actuales se inspirasen más en modelos clásicos. Salu2

Chick magnets pre installed

[alexander1485]

@818pip well, theres 5 seats in it, 3 in the front and 2 in the rear...

[Astropolicals]

i d-clare it to be the most bomb ass car ever

[knotwrite]

How the hell do they expect you to see out of it?

[GhibliOriginals]

i love these old types of car : they would so perfectly fit in a Batman adaptation

[loufalce]

I`m not sure if I love it-or hate it, but it sure is unique, and well ahead of its time in styling.

[Paticula1135]

Holy shit. I am so buying a replica of this car. Why? Because I gotta.

[teoh996]

corsair!!!

[TheThh]

[Sarcasticscum]

Very cool... I have one of these.. As a Hot Wheels car of course.. ;)

[lazynature1]

[krinklesofmadness]

[Himencrash]

@bradalfk same here :). but the duesenberg is cool as well ;).

[joshshoot]

probably one of the coolest cars in the world, and the morgan aero ss is awesome to.

[joshshoot]

thumbs up if your a motorhead and just played L.A Noire.

[frankparra1]

Drove this car in LA noire!

[Skeletty1710]

this car is awesome

[AnonymoussourceL0L]

American car design. Going downhill since 1970s.

[Moki1123]

La noire car

[Skeletty1710]

@Moki1123 not forget to mention Mafia (it is called "Manta Prototype" in this game from 2002)

[boogy110]

seems like a lot of fun trying to park this...

[VoLtrex31]

Can;t believe it was built in 1938.... i just can;t believe it..

The design got now days built by Pontiac but look how late ...

[bhmorgan55]

According to Peter Henshaw in "The Ultimate Encyclopedia of American Cars", the Phantom Corsair was a 1937 prototype only. The designer, Rusty Heinz of the Ketchup family was killed in a crash before he could bring it to production.

[trbossdoggy]

How can it makes turns ??? look at the front tires o.O

[DaMastaOfRoad]

and why are there only 3 videos about this car on youtube???

[alexander1485]

@DaMastaOfRoad dunno, maybe cause it doesn't get out much? or people are too stupid to take the opportunity to film it (if and when it does get out).

[DaMastaOfRoad]

@alexander1485 shame ^^ It's fascinating how this is an awesome and most ingenious car and a complete fail ar the same time :)

[alexander1485]

@DaMastaOfRoad well, the guy/builder/owner kind of died....

[DaMastaOfRoad]

@alexander1485 the builder tried to sell them but failed....

[Ievolovel]

@alexander1485 I have one of these... just not drivable, and it's very small... and cheap... and its in a box... yes... a hotwheels car.

Still in the box though! :D

[TheHondamxer143]

@DaMastaOfRoad cuz only one was ever made

[DaMastaOfRoad]

how much is this car worth today... 10.000'000$?

[DeLorean4]

Still futuristic to this day!

[AoDIronMask]

This car SHOULD be made of fail. I mean, front wheel drive V8 with the wheels covered and yet, it is spectacular! It is art on wheels.

[KapteinOpel]

@AoDIronMask "fail"? I bet youve never even tried a front drive and experienced how much faster you can corner with it on slippery surfaces. Besides it saves alot of space since there is no cardan tunnel.

[Filo127]

this car was also remade in the 2002 videogame mafia as a prototype in the "extreme ride"

mode in the game.

[MultiRooker]

This car is pure evil! I want it!!

[Delorean04]

looks like the Batmobile xD

[xnf90x2]

how does he turn the car?

[alexander1485]

@xnf90x2 with Arms of steel and with the steering wheel

[gunny426plymouth]

@alexander1485 hahaha yeah front wheel drive front engined and make that v8 with no power steering? haha you'd have to be a man of herculean strength to drive it!

[Athoutz]

yeah...

[Athoutz]

ONE of the rarest cars in the wrld. ONLY 1 IS OUT THERE TODAY.

[alexander1485]

@Athoutz well, only 1 was ever made until the maker died...

[OldtimerMercedesBenz]

This is a 6-passenger car! Today's minivans can hide!

[dryspud]

Masn, That Car is awesome!!!!

[dmc081]

one of the rarest cars in the world

[Tominator3526]

If Darth Vader were a car this is it

[gravityhammer25]

almost looks like the batmobile

[subzero92MK]

how many HP has it got?

[DiscoKat]

190hp Supercharged Lycoming V8. Same engine & Trans as the Cord 812.

[subzero92MK]

wow a very good concept

[XxSTICH666xX]

190

[deaddoc]

This car was featured in the 1938 film - The Young at Heart as the Flying Wombat. It featured a horn that piped The Ride of the Valkyries. A great comedy that shouldn't be missed!

[manferot]

Fantastic car. Had several hotwheels miniatures. I also modelled it for The very old Need For Speed III computer game.

[XxSTICH666xX]

That was you? Well that was an unbelievable mod. Did you take it out of Mafia or did you build it from scratch?

[jammer96]

You took your video after I took mine! That was a nice car!

[alexander1485]

thanks, its WAY bigger in person than I thought... but I guess its to be expected. I saw it coming (a long with the other cars I got from that position) and sadly therew as no sun at that time but thats ok, I saw it coming and knew I had to get it and be smooth and professional (like I always try).

[PeterPW]

A manta prototype no kidding!

[LeviMan2001]

man do i love this car.

[yutufyoursel]

is a mafia game car, jeje
