Gordon Buehrig-penned styling includes a “coffin-nose” front profile with a louvered wraparound grille, a rear-hinged hood, hideaway headlights raised via dash-mounted hand cranks, concealed door hinges, and a split windshield. Six body styles were offered in 1937, each of which was available as a supercharged variant distinguished visually by external exhaust pipes on each side of the hood. The car is powered by a 288ci Lycoming V8 that is fitted with a Schwitzer-Cummins centrifugal supercharger and drives the front wheels via a vacuum-operated four-speed preselector transaxle. Additional features include external exhaust pipes, independent front suspension, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes, manually operated pop-up headlights, fog lights. Power is transferred to the front wheels by a Detroit Gear four-speed manual transaxle mounted ahead of the engine. Gear changes are preselected via the column-mounted electrical switch and are set into action when the depression of the clutch pedal completes the electrical circuit that actuates vacuum cylinders on the transaxle unit.
