I had never heard of this before. It is a giant 1935 Land Cruiser at the 1934 Chicago World's Fair. Check it out here http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1934-1...d-cruiser7.htm

Interesting photo, Joe; do you know the story behind it? Is the old Pontiac being given away in a raffle or something? I can't quite make out the information on the door.Originally posted by JRoberts View Post
In any case, it sure is a rare model, being the Steamliner "fastback" rather than the more conventional, and more popular, "notchback" sedan. 1950 was the last model year for the Steramliner fastback in a 4-door sedan, but the Streamliner 2-door was continued into 1951. BP

I wish I had some informaiton about the picture, but I don't. I assume, as you did, that the Caddy is part of some auction, raffle, etc..
