Phantom Corsair
The Phantom Corsair is a prototype automobile built in 1938. It is a six-passenger 2-door sedan〔 that was designed by Rust Heinz of the H. J. Heinz family and Maurice Schwartz of the Bohman & Schwartz coachbuilding company in Pasadena, California.〔 Although sometimes dismissed as a failure because it never entered production, the Corsair is regarded as anachronistic due to its futuristic features and styling cues such as faired-in fenders and a low profile.

The Phantom Corsair's steel-and-aluminum body measured just in height and incorporated fully skirted wheels and completely flush fenders while forgoing running boards.〔 The car also lacked door handles, as the doors were instead opened electrically using push-buttons located on the exterior and the instrument panel.〔〔 The instrument panel also featured a compass and altimeter, while a separate console above the windshield indicated when a door was ajar or if the car's lights or radio were turned on.〔 The Corsair's body was mated to the "most advanced chassis available in the United States" at that time, the Cord 810.〔 The Lycoming 80º V-8 engine-powered Cord chassis also featured front-wheel drive and an electrically operated four-speed pre-selector gearbox, as well as fully independent suspension and adjustable shock absorbers.〔〔 Though these features from the Cord 810 chassis were all retained on the Phantom Corsair, the chassis was modified in order to accommodate the Corsair's large body.〔 The body measured an impressive long and wide, enough to accommodate four people in the front row, including one person to the left of the driver.〔〔 The back seats could only hold two passengers, however, in large part because of space limitations posed by on-board beverage cabinets.〔〔 Though weighing a hefty , the Phantom Corsair could achieve speeds of up to because of its modified, naturally aspirated 125 bhp Lycoming engine as well as its aerodynamic shape.〔〔
