The Pan Am coupe looks like a Hudson or Essex, maybe a Buick ?

Click on the photo to take you to the RM Auction listing with many other photos and details (It was a no-sale with an estimate of $100,000-$150,000).

It is a Ford Model A Coupe pulling the trailer.

Interesting rear wheels/tires. I wonder what else is changed.

Seems like I remember reading somewhere that the coupe has a AA 4-speed transmission and worm drive rear axle. (among other things)

That makes sense

It would not surprise me if the 3 window model A coupe prototypes are still around and show up some day for very big money at one of the big auctions.

There was A story about the three window prototypes in the Model A News A few years back. It was a straight windshield version.
