Re: Car ID.
I know it isn't a Miata but that is all I know. It looks like it is a home built on a very early chassis. The tank on the running board looks like an add-on. No front brakes. No fenders. No lights. Looks like a hot rod, race car. It has the Speedster style of rear body like the sports cars of the day.

Re: Car ID.
The tank is an acetylene tank for the (useless) headlights. My friends ‘12 Reo has that setup.
After googling his car, this one’s radiator shell looks identical, so I think it’s a Reo. But hot-rodded.
