Changes: '38 Phantom Corsair

Revision as of 19:16, 22 May 2020

Description

The Phantom Corsair is a concept car from 1938 that was designed by Rust Heinz of the Heinz 57 Ketchup fame, and Maurice Schwartz from Bohman & Schwartz Coachbuilding Company,Pasadena, California.The resulting design was amazing, aerodynamic and certainly bred from unconventional thinking. The chassis was from a Cord 810 and large enough to seat six individuals. To propel this rather large vehicle, a Lycoming V8 engine was fitted that displaced 289 cubic-inches and provided 190 horsepower allowing the Phantom to reach 115 miles per hour.

This was meant as a production vehicle. Heinz had hoped to sell these for $12,500, which was a very large fortune to most individuals at the time. Unfortunately, Heinz passed away in 1938 and the plans for production died with him. Only one example was ever produced.

This vehicle has played a starring role in the Doris Day and Frank Sinatra's motion picture 'The Young at Heart' (1955).^[1]
