The Phantom Corsair is an automobile prototype from 1938. It is a six-passenger coupe that was designed by Rust Heinz, a member of the H. J. Heinz family, and Maurice Schwartz of the Pasadena, California
based Bohman &Schwartz coachbuilding company. The design was a departure from contemporary car design and it did away with many features, common at the time, that were eventually abandoned by mainstream designers.
Phantom Corsair had a Cord 810 Lycoming 8-cylinder engine that could produce 190 hp and reached a top speed of 185 km/h. Pretty good for 1938, don’t you think?
