I sent you an email about this car a couple of years ago, but I can't find it now. It was called the 1932 Harry Miller - William A.M. Burden Pleasure Car. It was built like one of Miller's race cars, with a supercharged V16 engine and 4WD. The original estimated cost was $35,000.
The build of the car went way over budget, and probably led to Miller's bankruptcy. Fred Offenhauser finished building the car. The trim was all painted black to save some money.
Harry A. Miller, Inc, in the Detroit area, is building a replica of the Pleasure Car for a museum. They were posting a lot of updates on their Instagram page, with pictures of the machining and fabrication work. They haven't been posting much in a while, because they want to wait and reveal the finished car.
