Phantom Corsair

Im staying on exotic unknown super cars and this one fills the unknown quite well. You've probably never heard of the Phantom Corsair I know I haven't, so here we go. Now the Phantom Corsair was designed by Rust Heinz from the ketchup company. But unlike their ketchup this guy never took off. The Phantom Corsair never went into production even though it was above the times. For example it had very futuristic styling for 1938. The Phantom Corsair had steel-and-alumminum body which was unheard of. Also there were no door handles. Instead it used electronically controlled buttons inside and out to open the doors. On the dash board there where lights to let the driver know if a door was ajar or if the radio was on, now thats high-tech. It also had an adjustable ride hight thanks to its "most advanced chassis available in the United States" from a Chord 810. The Phantom Corsair was also a ver wide car, 76.5 inches wide to accommodate four passengers in the from row with the far left to the left of the driver. Unfortunately only two people could fir in the back thanks to beverage cabinets. Even thought it weighed 4,600lbs, the 190hp Lycoming V8 could get this beast of to 115mph. In July of 1939 Rust Heinz died in a car accident which halted the project. If the project continued the Phantom Corsair would have been sold for $24,000 is equivalent to to $370,000 today.
