Is that Benny the Cab from Who Framed Roger Rabbit??

I'm pretty sure it's Brum's American cousin.

Oddly enough, these are still very popular for drag racing. Albeit as a fiberglass replica used as the body for an "alerted". From sportsman entries all the way up to the one pictured that's been over 300 mph in a standing quarter mile.

Isn't that the car that Donald Duck's car was modelled after?

This reminds me of the car in a Donald Duck short where he goes camping or fishing.

American Bantam built the first jeep for the army. Ford and Willys copied/were given their plans. They had experience building lightweight vehicles so they were able to meet the weight requirements.
