This car was just in a magazine... It's killing me, but I want to say It was built from a 356?

You are correct, it was in Excellence Magazine a couple months back:

Henry Covington's "El Tiburon", based on a 356.

I'm thinking another kit?, not enough grill for old cooling systems, along with no hood straps or latches for old style latches.

tires/rims look wide for the period the car is modeled after.

It has something written on the front fender but it is way too small to see.

I thought the cars had to be production cars in your game Wolfgang?

I think you're correct on the headlights but the grille is from a LaSalle. The front bumper looks like it was a rear bumper from a Lincoln, maybe. This looks to be a very well done custom, probably from a prominent builder.

I'd like to see it from the rear and more detail on the interior.

correct - but as long as we don't know the solution we also don't know if it is (or not)
it might be a very little production run
we already had "production cars" with only 3-5 built items

I'm really currious about this one - I still think that I've seen it once (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

I think you guys are wrong about the first car...

I am pretty sure it is a Buick Platypus R300 made to commemorate the 1957 Australian Summer Olympics...

Oh ya, LeSalle grille. The car may be a proto type. I found this toy car photo that kind of looks close. The link stated it was a proto type model 1940 LaSalle Roadster.
