I don't see anything from the brass era. The radiator looks like the same expanded metal as the Seeburg jukebox speaker grills with noting behind it.
The pin on the bottom of the radiator shell looks like it is there to keep the hood and radiator from moving forward.
It is nothing but a poorly proportioned tourist car that would fit right in at Toon Town in sunny California.
The hood covers a good share of the cowl and passenger compartment making it look sleeker.
It looks like all the sheet metal work is custom except the radiator shell that is from a late 20s Whippet.
My father's term "speed lines" to mimic speed that wasn't there. That is a bug screen over the grill held on with springs. As a kid I often had the job to clean the bugs off.
