Built in 1937 for Tommy Lee, son of famous L.A. Cadillac dealer Don Lee, this car used a specially built Offenhauser 318 engine that was ill suited for the street.

The beautiful piece of customization was made by Frank Kurtis and Duval using a 35 Ford Pheaton body and 36 Ford fenders and other other parts to make the Delivery. The grill is hand made from brass in the Cord style. The driver side rear window is not a window but a sign for So. Cal Plating. I don't know what happened to it but I would trade all my cars for it. I am surprised nobody has cloned the design.
