Oh, it definitely looks like a 1930s "car from the future' to me. The 1930s was a decade of fantastic automotive design accomplishments. The Cord, the incredible Auto Union (later Audi) Type C racer, the Duesenberg, etc.
The above RR still has very strong traces of art deco about it. Parked in front of New York's Chrysler Building would be a perfect location for it, methinks. And I'm talking about the styling here -- not Chrysler cars.
Quite stunning. And a true one-of-a-kind. Must be worth a fortune now.
Oh, almost forgot -- excellent pics, Sked!

Thanks for your compliments, everyone.
@Michael: I could not agree more; this car has "art deco" splashed
all over it. I love it. It should be pictured in dictionaries for the entry
of "art deco," as an elegant example of the style.
