Hi all,
when you google for the word “flivver”, you get the atached pictures. There are even Youtube sketches about it:

Nevertheless, there is no name told nor any registration visible.
Can you tell the type? Thank you!

Hi RT,
It’s the McGaffey Aviate of 1935/6 powered by a Ford V-8. Variously reported as being built in Pasadena, almost completed in Santa Monica and production being planned at Grand Central Airport in Glendale but, despite reports that it flew well, X-14951 was the only one built.
