Phantom Corsaire

Today at Lunch we saw a Phantom Corsaire on TV. One of my buddies asked me what it was. I said I thought it might be a Phantom Corsaire. I speculated it was a one off built on a Packard chassis or some other american chassis.

Turns out it is on a Cord Chassis and is an unusual interior with four abreast in the front seat and two behind. A Heinz family man had it built with the thought of building it as a series but died before completing his dream. Too bad. it should have been the Bat mobile!
