The Beerster Buick Straight 8 was at the LA Roadster Show

Not based on a real car, but what the makers could approximate as a 1936 Indy 500 roadster race car http://www.beerster8.com/

Tom Cobbs 1929 roadster, DeSoto grill, fantastic soldered copper tube fuel lines at the carbs

trivia I read and posted was that the first supercharged V8 was a factory experiment 285 cu in that went into this, or another, Tom Cobbs dry lakebeds race car
